Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which was held in South Africa. The coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a soccer ball and the FIFA World Cup logo on the other side. The coin was minted in gold (.999) and weighs 1 gram. It was issued by the British Virgin Islands in 2009 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather as a collector's item.
