Comment
George III came to the throne in 1760, the first Hanoverian monarch to be born in Britain and speak English as a first language. Controversially, he is often known for the mental illness that plagued his latter years and as the king who lost the American colonies.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double-effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and King George III appearing on the obverse side. This is a rare occurrence in coin design and adds significant historical and numismatic value to the coin.
