Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting the HMS Discovery, a ship that was used by Captain James Cook during his voyages to the Pacific in the 18th century. The coin commemorates the 200th anniversary of Cook's death and highlights the historical significance of the ship and its voyages.
