Comment
One of the first coins to be issued under the reign of King Charles III, released on Monday October 3rd 2022 at 9am to commemorate the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. Due to unprecedented demand, the mintage was unlimited until 31st December 2022.The coin was issued individually and was also struck in copper-nickel, silver proof, gold proof, gold piedfort and platinum proof.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles appearing on the same side of the coin. This is a departure from traditional coin designs, which typically feature a single portrait of the monarch. The design is meant to symbolize the transition of power from the Queen to her son, Prince Charles, and serves as a nod to the future of the British monarchy.
