Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Red Arrows, a British aerobatic team, flying over Gorey Castle in Jersey. This design was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Red Arrows, and it is the first time that the team has been featured on a coin. The coin's design is particularly notable because it incorporates a colorful, 3D-effect that gives the impression of movement and depth, making it stand out from other coins. Additionally, the coin's weight of 8 grams is relatively light for a coin of its size, which makes it easy to handle and transport.
