Comment
Released in the coronation year of King Charles III, the designs feature eight brand-new reverse designs that pay tribute to King Charles III, the four nations of the United Kingdom and the natural world.
It has been reported that there are variants in relation to the alignment of the alternate reeded edges with the design of both sides. However, it has been confirmed by the Royal Mint Museum that this is just a consequence of the method of production and entirely random.
