Five Pence 2025, Coin from United Kingdom

Coin	Five Pence 2025

The five pence coin is a small circulating denomination of the British (decimal) Pound Sterling. 5 pence equal 1/20th of a pound.

This 5p coin design replaced the earlier 5p design by Matthew Dent, which had been in circulation since 2008. The reverse depicts an oak sprig, and is part of the nature-inspired recoinage introduced to mark the reign of King Charles III, reflecting his interest in conservation and nature.

Five pence and ten pence coins are legal tender only up to the sum of £5; this means it is permissible to refuse payment of sums greater than this amount in 5p and 10p coins to settle a debt.

5p coins issued in 2025 have now been in circulation for less than one year.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin displays the first definitive portrait of King Charles III, which shows his bare (uncrowned) head facing left.

Below the neck truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials MJ (for Martin Jennings).

Around, the monarch's legend and the date of issue: CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF · 2025 ·. Translated from Latin, the legend means: Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

Obverse Inscription	CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF · 2025 ·

Reverse

In the right-hand part of the coin, the design depicts an oak sprig with three leaves and three acorns.

On the left, on two lines the value and denomination, 5 PENCE.

The background on the left has a pattern of repeating three interlocking letters C, a feature which takes its inspiration from history and the cypher of King Charles II (C for Charles, CC for Charles the Second, CCC for Charles III), and small diamonds.

Reverse Inscription	5 PENCE
