| Additional information |
Struck to mark the coronation of Charles III on 6 May 2023, this is the first British coronation crown issued since the Elizabeth II Coronation crown of 1953 — a seventy-year gap between events of the same type. The Royal Mint produced the piece in multiple finishes and metals, with the copper-nickel circulation-quality version intended for broad public distribution rather than collector cabinets.
Charles waited longer to accede than any heir apparent in British history — over 70 years.
