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 obverse of the coin bears an image of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse features a depiction of the Victory Medal and the British War Medal, which were awarded to soldiers who served in the war. The coin's design is particularly notable because it was created by renowned coin designer, Stephen Taylor, who is known for his work on various commemorative coins. Additionally, the coin's gold plating and limited mintage of 2,017 make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
