Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, the Bull of Clarence, which is a heraldic symbol associated with Prince Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II. The Bull of Clarence is a gold coin that was first introduced in 1344 during the reign of King Edward III and has been associated with the Prince of Wales ever since. The design on the coin features a bull's head with a crown on its head and a scepter in its mouth, symbolizing the power and authority of the Prince of Wales. The use of the Bull of Clarence on the coin is a nod to Prince Charles's status as the heir apparent to the British throne.
