With his official coronation ceremony on May 6, 2023, King Charles III formally takes over from his mother, Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The coronation of Charles III marked the end of the longest wait by an heir apparent to ascend to the throne. It was also the first coronation ceremony since 1953.
King Charles III has already appeared on traditional 2023 Gold Sovereigns in the new left-profile relief from Martin Jennings. However, this special Coronation Sovereign Series offers the first-ever crowed portrait of Charles III on Gold Sovereigns.
In the obverse design of the 2023 Proof Great Britain Gold Coronation of King Charles III Half Sovereign Coins, you will find the left-profile relief of Charles III. Jennings’ 2022 depiction of the new monarch has been altered for this release to include a crown.
For the reverse face of the 2023 Proof Gold Coronation of King Charles III Half Sovereigns, the mint depicts St. George slaying a dragon. This image of St. George on horseback was first introduced in 1817 with the debut of modern Gold Sovereigns and has been on the Half Sovereign since its modern revival in 1980.
These 2023 Proof Great Britain Gold Coronation of King Charles III Half Sovereign Coins are available in individual boxes. The coins are housed in presentation boxes that include a coronation booklet.
