Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design by artist Morgan Le Fay, which depicts King Charles III in a more relaxed and informal pose, unlike traditional royal portraits. This design was specifically chosen to reflect the King's personality and his commitment to a more modern and approachable monarchy.
