The Official Royal Mint King Charles III Coronation £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

The coronation of His Majesty King Charles III marks the beginning of a new chapter for British royalty and the United Kingdom. Taking the monarchy forward into a new Carolean age, His Majesty The King is the first British monarch to be crowned in the twenty-first century.

The last Carolean era was that of Charles II, whose restoration to the throne took place in 1660. Signalling a forward-looking reign, King Charles III chose to use the name 'Charles', rather than the Latin equivalent 'Carolus', on coinage, and to be crowned during the same ceremony as Her Majesty The Queen Consort.

Saturday, May 6, 2023 marks a historic moment in British history and, as with so many important royal occasions, The Royal Mint is delighted to celebrate with the United Kingdom. To commemorate the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey, they have struck a £5 coin featuring a crowned coinage portrait of His Majesty on the obverse and a beautiful design by Timothy Noad on the reverse, both of which have received The King's personal approval.
