Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Charles III (Coronation; Silver Proof) 2023 coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting the St. Edward's Crown, which is used in the coronation ceremony of British monarchs. The crown is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and durability, and the coin's weight and purity are also indicated on the reverse. This design is a departure from the traditional effigy of the monarch that is typically found on British coins, making it a distinctive and special issue.
