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 a depiction of Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes, two of the main fighter planes used by the RAF during the battle, taking off from an airfield in a "scramble" formation, symbolizing the urgency and intensity of the battle.
