Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate Prince Charles' 70th birthday, and the design features a portrait of Prince Charles and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, together on the reverse side of the coin. This is a unique feature as it is the first time that a British monarch and their heir apparent have been depicted together on a coin.
