Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pence - Elizabeth II (Concorde) 2014 coin from Guernsey is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first supersonic flight of the Concorde, a British-French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger jet that could travel at speeds up to Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h). The coin's design includes an image of the Concorde in flight, along with the inscription "Concorde 50th Anniversary" and the dates "1964-2014."
