Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of World War I, specifically the use of gas in warfare. The coin's design depicts a soldier wearing a gas mask, surrounded by a barren landscape and the words "Lest We Forget" (a common phrase used to remember those who died in war). This design serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating effects of war and the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by soldiers.
