Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act 1918, which granted some women in the United Kingdom the right to vote for the first time. The coin's design features a depiction of the suffragette movement and the words "Deeds not Words", which was a slogan used by the suffragettes to emphasize their commitment to action and change.
