2023 8gram Great Britain 50 Pence Range: The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III .925 Silver Proof 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, 6 May 2023 marks a historic moment in British history and, as with so many important royal occasions, we are delighted to celebrate with the nation. To commemorate the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey, we have struck a UK 50p coin featuring a crowned coinage portrait of His Majesty on the obverse and a beautiful design by Natasha Jenkins on the reverse, both of which have received The King’s personal approval. **KEY Selling Points：** - Celebrates the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III - The obverse features a crowned coinage portrait of His Majesty The King by Martin Jennings - Commemorates the first British coronation in the twenty-first century - The reverse features a design by Natasha Jenkins, a product designer at The Royal Mint - Available to own as a gold Proof, silver Proof Piedfort, silver Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated edition
