Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of King Charles III, who is depicted wearing the St. Edward's Crown, which is a symbol of his royal authority. The design also includes the inscription "Crowned and Anointed" to reflect the King's status as the monarch. This design is not only visually striking but also holds historical significance, making the coin a valuable addition to any coin collection.
