| Additional information |
Issued to mark Prince Charles's 70th birthday in November 2018, this piece was released as part of the Royal Mint's ongoing commemorative crown program — a series that has issued five-pound pieces on royal occasions with such regularity since 1990 that the format has become almost reflexive. Charles's landmark birthday generated several concurrent releases across different finishes and metals, making the copper-nickel circulation-quality strikes the workhorse of an unusually crowded commemorative run.
The obverse carries Jody Clark's fifth definitive portrait of Elizabeth II, introduced in 2015.
