Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design by artist Morgan Le Fay, which depicts King Charles III in a more relaxed and informal pose, unlike traditional royal portraits. This design was specifically chosen to reflect the King's personality and his desire to be seen as a more approachable and relatable monarch.
