Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the HMS Investigator coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the HMS Investigator's voyage to the Arctic in 1850. The HMS Investigator was a British ship that was sent to search for the missing Franklin Expedition, which had disappeared while attempting to navigate the Northwest Passage. The coin's design features an image of the HMS Investigator, as well as the ship's captain, Robert McClure, and a map of the Arctic region. The coin's mintage was limited to 2,000 pieces, making it a rare and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
