Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Charles III on one side and the Death Star II on the other. The Death Star II is a fictional space station from the Star Wars franchise, and its inclusion on the coin adds a touch of pop culture to an otherwise traditional coin design. This combination of real-world royalty and science fiction elements makes the coin stand out and may appeal to collectors who appreciate both themes.
