Comment
First designed in 2016 to mark 200 years since the de facto introduction of the gold standard – tying the value of the British pound to that of gold – the Gold Standard.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Pounds - Charles III (Gold Standard; 1 oz Fine Gold) 2023 coin from the United Kingdom is that it has a unique feature - a hidden security detail. The coin contains a micro-text inscription of the Latin phrase "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (Shame be upon him who thinks evil of it), which is only visible under ultraviolet light. This adds an extra layer of security and authenticity to the coin, making it a truly special and valuable collector's item.
