Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Falklands War between the United Kingdom and Argentina, which took place in 1982. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Falkland Islands on the other, along with the inscription "Falkland Islands 1982-1992" and the coin's denomination. The use of gold and the limited mintage of 15,000 coins make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
