Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the accession of King George III, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1760 to 1820. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, along with an image of King George III on the reverse side. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
