Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, which marked the end of World War I. The coin's design features an image of the Queen Elizabeth II, along with the dates "1918-2018" and the words "Armistice 100th Anniversary." The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
