Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, depicting King Charles III on the obverse side, while the reverse side showcases a representation of the Royal Maundy Service, a traditional ceremony that has taken place annually since the 13th century. The coin's design is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first time that a British monarch has been depicted on a coin during their first year of reign.
