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

The Hundred Years War was fought because the King of England claimed he had a better right to the French throne than the King of France had. That war ended in 1453 but the kings of England continued to claim the title of King of France for more than 300 years after that.

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

From the time the Romans left Britain, I have found no other history to be more fascinating. Especially the various invasions,Romans,Saxons,Vikings (Build A Wall!) ;) and subsequent monarchies.
The coin is cool, and the Roman numerals would have looked better. Hope he turns out to be a good king. He has the opportunity. Does he take the lead like his mother did? Time will tell.

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

Whenever I see Chuck, this lyric pops in my head:
I say, Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?

William will be on the coins soon enough, depending on how long Charles lives. The monarch doesn’t appear on the coins until the beginning of the next year after their accession, so Edward VIII never appeared on the coins because he abdicated in December after less than a year as king.

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.
Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell, and Charles the Third—[at this point the speaker is interrupted with cries of “Treason!”] may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it. -- Patrick Henry

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.
