Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features an image of Charles III, who is not yet the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. The coin was issued in 2024, but Charles III did not ascend to the throne until 2025, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. This makes the coin a unique and collectible item, as it depicts a future monarch before he had actually taken the throne.
