Comment
Part of 4 coins series:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Victoria, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1837 to 1901, despite being issued in 2001. This is because the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory, has a unique history and cultural heritage, and the coin was issued as a tribute to the Queen's long reign and her connection to the territory.
