Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sovereign - Charles III (Coronation; Proof Piedfort) 2023 coin is that it features a unique double-effigy design, with both a portrait of King Charles III and a depiction of St. Edward's Crown, which is used in the coronation ceremony of British monarchs. This design is a departure from the traditional single-effigy design found on most coins and is a special feature of this particular issue.
