Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the Palace Flypast, a historic event that took place in 2002 where the Queen's Jubilee celebrations were marked by a flypast of aircraft over Buckingham Palace. The coin's design shows the Queen's profile on one side and a depiction of the flypast on the other, making it a special collector's item for anyone interested in British history and numismatics.
