Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which marked the end of World War II in Europe. The coin's design features a depiction of a street party celebration in London, which was a common way for people to celebrate the end of the war. The coin's gold composition and proof finish add to its collectibility and value.
