Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of King Charles III, who was previously known as Prince Charles, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a design honoring the life and legacy of George Michael, a famous British musician and pop icon. This coin is a unique tribute to both the monarch and the artist, and its silver proof finish adds to its collectibility and value.
