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 Tower Bridge in London. 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 includes a special color application that gives the impression of movement and depth, making the Red Arrows appear as if they are flying right over the bridge. This attention to detail and artistic flair makes the coin a standout piece for collectors and enthusiasts of numismatics.
