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 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the VE Day anniversary date and a depiction of the Union Jack flag. The coin's gold composition and limited mintage make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
