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 reverse side depicts a World War I tank, a Mark V tank to be specific, which was a British tank that saw action during the war. The tank is shown in a battle scene, with a poppy in the foreground, symbolizing remembrance and sacrifice. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin's design is particularly interesting because it serves as a reminder of the significant role that tanks played in World War I, and how they changed the course of modern warfare.
