Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Charles III (Maid Marian; Silver Proof) 2024 coin is that it features a unique design depicting Maid Marian, a character from the legend of Robin Hood, on the reverse side. This is a departure from the traditional design of British coins, which typically feature images of royalty or other historical figures. The inclusion of Maid Marian on the coin adds a touch of folklore and whimsy to an otherwise formal and official piece of currency.
