Full set:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 125th anniversary of the publication of Jules Verne's classic novel "Around the World in 80 Days." The coin's design depicts a steam train, which is a nod to the novel's iconic mode of transportation, and the Yokohama skyline in the background, representing the novel's Japanese setting. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, making it a unique collectible for both numismatists and fans of literature.
