Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), which was a branch of the British military that played a crucial role in World War I. The coin's design includes an image of King George V, who was the monarch at the time of the RFC's formation, as well as an image of a biplane, which was a type of aircraft used by the RFC during the war. The coin's gold plating and limited mintage make it a valuable and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
