Additional information

Issued to mark the coronation of Charles III in May 2023, this piece belongs to a wave of commemorative 50p types released by Pobjoy Mint — the Isle of Man's longtime contract minter — targeting collector markets rather than circulation. The selective gold plating on a silver-plated copper-nickel flan is a production technique Pobjoy has refined over decades, though it introduces long-term preservation concerns that fully precious-metal issues avoid.

The anthem reference dates to its first documented use at the coronation of George II in 1727.
