Interesting fact
The 2023-2024 Charles III Silver 2 Pounds coin has a unique feature - it has a latent image of a crown that appears when viewed at a certain angle. This feature is a result of the coin's unique minting process, which involves striking the coin multiple times to create a detailed and intricate design. The latent image is a nod to the coin's royal heritage and adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the coin's design.
