Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the meeting between explorers David Livingstone and Henry Stanley in 1871. The coin's reverse side depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the obverse side features an image of Livingstone and Stanley shaking hands, with the inscription "Stanley and Livingstone" above them. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted in 1988.
