| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Lest We Forget" commemoration on Falkland Islands issues carries particular weight that it simply does not on coins struck elsewhere. The 1982 conflict — ten weeks of fighting that left 255 British and 649 Argentine servicemen dead — ended Argentine occupation of the islands and remains the defining event in Falklands political identity. Remembrance here is not ceremonial abstraction.
The piedfort format, double the standard thickness, was revived by the Royal Mint in the early 1980s and has since been widely adopted by issuing authorities for premium collector strikes. This example adds gold layering over the .925 silver flan — a combination now common in modern commemorative issues from British Overseas Territories.
