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, and was designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. The coin was issued as a tribute to the life and legacy of George Michael, a British singer-songwriter who passed away in 2016. The coin's design incorporates elements of Michael's music and style, including his iconic leather jacket and sunglasses. The coin's gold proof finish adds an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to the design, making it a truly unique and special collector's item.
