2023 Royal Mint King Charles Coronation Silver Proof £5 Five Pound Coin

2023 King Charles III Coronation Five Pound Crown Silver Proof Coin. To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III on the 6th May 2023, The Royal Mint has released a wide range of special edition coins to celebrate the royal occasion.

This edition is the silver proof Five Pound coin, featuring a unique design by the esteemed artist, Timothy Noad. His inspiration for the reverse (tails side) design is the Crown Jewels, in particular Saint Edward's Crown and the Sovereign's sceptres.

The regalia is an integral part of the coronation process, making up a tradition which goes back centuries. The legend reads'THE CORONATION OF KING CHARLES III 6 MAY 2023'. On the obverse, the crowned portrait of His Majesty the King is visible. What sets this design apart from other portraits of the King is that he is wearing the Tudor Crown, the first time a UK monarch has worn a crown on a British coin effigy in over 350 years.

British sculptor Martin Jennings is responsible for this ground-breaking engraving of the King. This collectable UK coin is struck in 28.28 grams of. 925 sterling silver to The Royal Mint's proof standard, achieved with multiple strikes of hand-prepared dies.

Designed for collectors, it measures 38.61 millimetres in diameter and comes in its original presentation packaging which includes a certificate of authenticity. 12,500 coins have been officially authorised by the Mint in this limited edition presentation.
