Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Canada in 2002, but it was actually issued by the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. This coin is one of the few instances where a coin was issued by a territory that is not a sovereign nation, but still bears the image of the British monarch.
