One of the six coins with freshwater fish:Interesting fact
The 10 Pence - Charles III (Barbel; Colourised) 2023 coin from Guernsey features a unique colorization process that sets it apart from other coins. The colorization process, known as "barbel," creates a distinctive frosted effect on the coin's surface, giving it a striking appearance that's unlike any other coin. This process is a first for Guernsey and adds an extra layer of collectibility to an already rare and unique coin.
