This set contains three of the five sovereign denominations celebrating the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III in 2023.
Each coin features the crowned coinage portrait of His Majesty The King, designed exclusively for The Royal Mint by Martin Jennings (this differs from the effigy used on circulation coins, on which the king is not crowned).
Continuing a Sovereign tradition that dates back to 1817, the reverse of each coin features Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the dragon design.
By tradition, sovereign coins do not have the denomination written on them, so that the designs of the different denominations are identical; they only differ in size. |
