Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the Space Shuttle Challenger mission, which tragically resulted in the loss of the spacecraft and the lives of its seven crew members in 1986. Despite this, the coin was still produced and released in 1996 as a tribute to the mission and its crew.
