Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design by artist Graham Churchill that depicts a portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, on one side, and the other side features a representation of the Falkland Islands, including a penguin and a ship. This coin was issued in 2005 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Churchill's death and is a rare and collectible item.
