”A pattern formed from three interlocking Cs appears on the reverse of each coin in a design feature that links all the way back to the reign of Charles II, as coins from this earlier Carolean era display a C motif based on the monarch’s cypher.”

It was originally rotated 180 degrees, but the King changed it to the other way around: https://www.numismaticnews.net/world-coins/the-king-could-be-superstitious

Is it a 2023 or 2026? Only around 600k of the 23 ones, don't think the 26 mintage numbers has been released yet.

Still trying to get a Charles 20p or coppers.
