Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele, which took place during World War I. The coin's design features a soldier standing in a trench, surrounded by barbed wire and shell holes, with the dates "1917-2017" inscribed above him. The coin's gold plating and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for those interested in military history and numismatics.
