Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines two significant historical events: the Bayeux Tapestry and Halley's Comet. The Bayeux Tapestry is an 80-meter long embroidered cloth that depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England in 1066, while Halley's Comet is a short-period comet that appears in the Earth's sky every 76 years. The coin's design brings together these two historical events in a creative and visually striking way, making it a truly distinctive and collectible piece.
