Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the classic novel "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne. The coin's reverse side depicts a map of the world with a route tracing the protagonist Phileas Fogg's journey, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is a special edition issued by Guernsey, a British Crown dependency, and is made of copper-nickel, weighing 8 grams.
