Interesting fact
The 2024 Charles III (Robin Hood; Silver Proof) 2 Pounds coin from the United Kingdom features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins in the series. The coin's reverse side depicts a scene from the legend of Robin Hood, showing Robin Hood and Little John standing on a tree trunk, aiming their bows and arrows at the Sheriff of Nottingham's men. This design is unusual because it does not feature the typical portrait of the monarch, Charles III, which is commonly found on coins from the United Kingdom. Instead, it showcases a historical figure from English folklore, adding a touch of nostalgia and cultural significance to the coin.
