Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features an image of King Charles III, who was the Duke of Wellington during the Battle of Waterloo, on the obverse (front side), and the Allied Leaders on the reverse (back side). This design was chosen to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, which took place on June 18, 1815.
