2023 5 oz British Silver Coronation Proof – King Charles III Coronation
History
Due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September of 2022, the coronation of her heir, Prince Charles, took place on May 8, 2023. Prince Charles was coronated as “King Charles III.”
To honor their new monarch, the Royal Mint created numerous new and old design coins, but with all bearing the image of the new king of Great Britain.
One new coin that was created by the Royal Mint was a 2023 Coronation 10 Pound, 5 Troy Oz Silver Proof coin. This large size coin was made in a very limited mintage of only 1,500 coins worldwide.
Design
The obverse of this magnificent coin depicts the first crowned coinage Portrait of King Charles III. King Charles III is facing to the left and wearing the Tudor Crown. Around him is the Latin inscription of “CHARLES III – D – G – REX – F – D – 10 POUNDS – 2023” which translates to “Charles III, By the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith, 10 Pounds, 2023.” The official coinage portrait was crafted by artist Martin Jennings.
The reverse depicts the British Royal Arms surrounded by flowers representing the four nations of the United Kingdom. It was designed by artist, John Bergdahl.
This coin celebrates the first coronation in the 21st Century.
The coin is struck in .999 Fine Silver and was struck and finished to a Proof standard, meaning it was executed in the highest quality standard possible by the Royal Mint.
