Interesting fact
The Green Tiger Beetle design on the 10 Pence - Charles III (Green Tiger Beetle; Colourised) 2023 coin is a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins in the series. The colorful design is a result of a special colorization process that was applied to the coin's nickel-plated steel surface. This process not only gives the coin a distinctive look but also adds an extra layer of collectibility to the coin.
