Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, which took place during World War I. The coin's design features a soldier standing on the battlefield, with a poppy wreath in the background, symbolizing remembrance and sacrifice. The coin's gold plating and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for those interested in military history and numismatics.
