Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pence - Elizabeth II (Avro Lancaster) 2015 coin from Guernsey is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place during World War II. The coin's design depicts an Avro Lancaster bomber, which was a British four-engine heavy bomber that played a significant role in the war effort.
