Gold Two Ounces 2023 King Charles III Coronation, Coin from New Zealand - detailed information

The obverse of the coin shows the bare (uncrowned) head of King Charles III facing left.

In small letters below the neck truncation, the artist's initials: SJF (for Stephen Fuller).

Around, the monarch's legend and date of issue: CHARLES III · NEW ZEALAND 2023.

The inscription also indicates the precious metal content - ".9999 Au 2oz" means "two troy ounces of 99.99% gold"; Au is abbreviated from Aurum, the Latin word for gold.

The reverse of the coin features an engraved portrait of King Charles III in his Queen’s Guard uniform. The surrounding design is inspired by the gold aiguillette worn by the military, typically as part of ceremonial attire for special events, or in recognition of an honour or achievement. The intricate background pattern is inspired by the embroidery on the collar of the Scots Guard uniform.

Around above in a ring surrounding the portrait, the inscription KING CHARLES III CORONATION; around below, the face value TEN DOLLARS.

On both sides of the ring, the royal cypher C III R (from Charles III Rex - Charles the Third, King), crowned with the Tudor Crown.
