Coronation of King Charles III Sovereign – Struck on 6 May 2023
Description This BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) gold sovereign, dated 2023, celebrates the Coronation of King Charles III. This special sovereign was struck on 6 May 2023 when he was crowned King. The obverse of the coin features the left facing portrait of His Majesty the King and features the monarch crowned, following on from his coronation. In 1817 as part of a reform of coinage, the modern sovereign was introduced, with Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic portrayal of St. George slaying the dragon. The initials ‘BP’ can be found on the base under the hoof of the horse. The reverse of the coronation sovereign features the iconic image of St George and the Dragon and the coin has a matte finish.
