Interesting fact

The 10 Pence - Charles III (Roach; Colourised) 2023 coin from Guernsey features a unique colorization process that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's design, which depicts a portrait of King Charles III, has been colorized using a special technique that involves applying a thin layer of color to the coin's surface. This process not only enhances the coin's visual appeal but also adds an extra layer of collectibility to the coin.
