"Charles" and "pounds" are in English, the rest in Latin. They could have put Carolus instead of Charles.

And the year in Roman numerals but probably most people would not be able to figure out what the numerals meant.

Wow, that little coin representing 100 pounds is the perfect illustration of the devaluation of currency. Paper notes disguise it.

I see they included his scholastic grades on the coin.

Nice. This coin info was published on the same day that Ingenuity had completed 50 flights.

Limp-wrist Charles, who married Don Camilla Imus. There’s a coin the trannies would love.

I suppose there will be coins with his mug circulating up here in the great white north but for now all we have is Liz still.

That brown coin is obviously a racist insult aimed at Queen Megan. How dare they!

Whoever the artist was for the coin did Charles a big favor. LOL

How much did that cost the tax payers? Could have saved a few pounds by putting William on the coins.

Not very impressive.

I have a coin with his great-grandfather's picture on it.

At least I think I do.

It's very old and worn-down.

I understand that the Crown's protocol for the portrait on coinage is to alternate the way they face, every other Sovereign. Elizabeth II faced rightward. Fittingly, Chuckles faces left.
