Comment
Similar to KM#100, but with plain buntingInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design depicting Queen Elizabeth II on horseback, wearing a formal dress and hat, in recognition of the Royal Ascot horse racing event. The coin's design is not only visually striking but also symbolizes the Falkland Islands' strong connection to British culture and history.
