BullionByPost are proud to present the 2023 definitive silver proof UK coinage set, an emblematic collection to mark the commencement of His Majesty King Charles III's reign. Minted by The Royal Mint, these coins, ranging from 1p to £2, showcase the official coinage portrait of The King, each adorned with a special coronation privy mark.
This definitive set is the first presentation of the new UK coinage design introduced to mark the accession of King Charles III, and represents the first UK coinage redesign in 15 years. The designs aim to embody the four nations of the United Kingdom, and the reverse of the coins features animals and plants representing His Majesty's longstanding commitment to environmental conservation. Personally endorsed by The King, these contemporary designs are a testament to his passion for preserving the Earth's natural resources.
Encased in a Royal Mint box, this commemorative set stands as a tangible expression of the shared responsibility for environmental stewardship, echoing His Majesty King Charles III's enduring commitment to a sustainable future. The set contains a total of 55.9g of sterling silver, with the £1 and £2 coins minted are an attractive two-tone design with the outer rim plated in gold.
