Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, and the reverse design features a depiction of the St. Helena Homecoming, which was a significant event that took place in 1945 when the island was used as a refuge for people displaced by the war.
