| Additional information |
Issued in 2002 to mark Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, this piece was struck for the Falkland Islands — a territory whose British allegiance was tested and confirmed at considerable cost during the 1982 Argentine invasion. The islands' continued place under the Crown was not administrative inertia; it was actively chosen by the population, a fact the Falkland government has consistently emphasized through its commemorative coinage program.
