| Additional information |
The Isle of Man Treasury has been unusually prolific in producing commemorative silver issues tied to British royal events, operating with considerably more latitude than the Royal Mint to release themed coinage without coordination constraints. This piece belongs to a series marking the accession of Charles III, with each coin in the set dedicated to a separate line of the national anthem — a format the Treasury deployed specifically for the 2023 coronation cycle.
"Send Him Victorious" is the opening petition of "God Save the King," a phrase dormant for seventy years during Elizabeth II's reign and returned to active use only upon Charles's accession in September 2022.
