Description: Royal Navy (British) Challenge Coin from HMS Lancaster (F 229). HMS Lancaster is a Duke-class Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy, launched by Queen Elizabeth II[10] on 24 May 1990.[11] The ship is known as "The Queen's Frigate",[12] the Duke of Lancaster being a subsidiary title of the Sovereign. Being the third ship in the Type 23 class, Lancaster was originally allocated the pennant number F232 until it was noted that the 232 is the Royal Navy report form for groundings and collisions and therefore considered unlucky.[13][14] She is one of the few ships left in the fleet with some female officers but mess decks which are men-only.[15]The ship, like her sisters HMS Monmouth, HMS Montrose, HMS Iron Duke and HMS Argyll, did not receive the new Sonar 2087 upgrade that other frigates of the class subsequently received. Therefore she is regarded as a "general purpose" frigate without the more specialized anti-submarine capability of the other eight ships in the Type 23 fleet.[16]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Lancaster_(F229) Measures 1.75 inches in diameter.
