Another fantastic coin in the RAF100 series coins.
With crisp clean lines and rich vibrant colours bringing the coin to life, the coin depicts 2 of the most recognised and versatile helicopters that have graced the RAF inventory.
On one side is the Seaking, depicted here in its Yellow Search & Rescue guise, which it is most recognised and well known for and sadly missed from the British Coastlines.
On the other side is the unmistakable lines of the Chinook, that has served and continues to serve the RAF in a variety of roles. You can almost hear the distinctive sound of the Chinook through the coin.
A must buy for any collector
