Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the role of communication during World War I. The reverse side of the coin depicts a soldier sending a message using a messenger pigeon, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The use of gold plating on a copper-nickel base gives the coin a distinctive look and adds to its collectibility. Additionally, the coin's low mintage of 2,014 pieces makes it a rare and valuable addition to any coin collection.
