Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a fictional representation of Charles III, who is not a real historical figure, but rather a creative interpretation of what a British monarch named Charles III might look like. The coin's design is part of a series called "Jurassic Britain," which imagines what the British Isles might have looked like during the age of the dinosaurs. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side features an image of a Loricatosaurus, a type of armored dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. The coin's unique blend of fact and fiction makes it a fascinating collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics, paleontology, or alternative histories.
