Your exclusive invitation to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III

Britain has a new monarch, and on May 6, 2023, we celebrate the first royal coronation for 70 years, a landmark event in British history that few of us will have experienced before. To celebrate this momentous milestone, The King Charles III Coronation £5 Coin has been authorised for release - one of the first coins to receive royal approval to celebrate the occasion.

The Coronation of King Charles III signifies the start of a new era

Our nation's history is often told through the monarchs who have shaped it, and Royal coronations mark the chapters of our past. Before the reign of Queen Elizabeth II coronations were more frequent events, but due to Her late Majesty’s remarkable 70-year reign, our knowledge and memories of the centuries-old rituals and regalia associated with coronations have dimmed over time. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that “The Coronation will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.” And so begins a new chapter in our history, the Second Carolean Age. An era that will undoubtedly become known as one of pride, progress and further modernisation of our ancient monarchy.

The King Charles III Coronation £5 Coin celebrates both British history and its future

Importantly King Charles III’s coronation is a celebration of not only of His Majesty but also an ode to tradition and legacy. These elements are perfectly reflected in the coin’s design.

On the obverse is Jody Clark's exceptional portrait of our new king. Jody Clark designed the Fifth (and final) Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II which appeared on all her British coinage from 2015 to 2022. King Charles has chosen to be portrayed without a crown for his coinage, keeping it understated and 'simple' and modern.

The coin’s reverse is an iconic nod to history. The striking St. Edwards Crown takes centre stage. This was the same crown that Queen Elizabeth II wore during her coronation 70 years ago, and it will be this crown that King Charles III will wear during his own coronation. A richly symbolic representation of Britain's monarchy, its traditions and a reminder of the continuation of the line of our monarchy.

Struck to a gleaming collector’s Proof finish & layered in pure Silver

In recognition of the significance of this, the first coronation we are witnessing for 70 years, the King Charles III Coronation £5 Coin has been layered in pure silver, struck in Crown size (38.6mm), the traditional size reserved for Royal commemoratives and to a PROOF finish. This is the highest quality possible, coveted by collectors: each coin struck not once but twice onto a specially prepared mirrored surface.

A beautiful tribute with Royal Approval, but only 40,000 coins will be issued

Not only is it beautifully crafted, but the coin is also absolutely official - fully approved by Buckingham Palace and the King himself.  In a further nod to history, the mintage of The King Charles III Coronation £5 Coin has been set at just 40,000 worldwide.  It has been chosen to match the mintage of our late Queen’s 1953 Coronation Proof Crown coin.  And once it has sold out, no more can be produced ever. The restricted release means fewer than one in every 700 UK households may own this coin! With immense interest in the new coinage of King Charles III, demand is likely to be extremely high, so please don't miss your chance to reserve your limited-edition King Charles III Coronation £5 coin today!
