Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features an image of King Charles III, who was not yet the monarch when the coin was minted in 2024. This is because the coin was produced in anticipation of his eventual succession to the throne, which did not occur until 2026. This makes the coin a unique collector's item, as it represents a moment in time when the monarchical succession was still uncertain.
