Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a pivotal air campaign fought during World War II between the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a Spitfire aircraft, which played a crucial role in the battle, on the other. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
