Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist Joanna Scott, which showcases a majestic oak tree, symbolizing strength and longevity, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The design is particularly special as it marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, and serves as a tribute to the courage and resilience of the British people during that time.
