Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 350th anniversary of the wreck of the "Sea Venture," a British ship that sank off the coast of Bermuda in 1609. The ship was carrying 150 colonists and crew, and although the wreck was a tragic event, it led to the eventual settlement of Bermuda by the British. The coin's design features an image of the ship and the year 1609, along with the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
