Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a pivotal air campaign fought between the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) during World War II. The coin's design features an aerial dogfight between a Spitfire and a Messerschmitt Bf 109, capturing the intensity and bravery of the pilots who fought in the skies above Britain in 1940.
