Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of World War I. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Sir John French, a prominent military leader during the war, while the reverse side depicts a soldier in combat gear, along with the dates "1914-1918" and the inscription "Lest We Forget." This coin is a meaningful tribute to the men and women who served in the Great War, and its gold plating and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item.
