New Gold Coin released to mark the first Royal Coronation in Britain for 70 years

Britain has a new monarch, and on May 6, 2023, we celebrate the first royal coronation for 70 years, a landmark event in British history that few of us will have experienced before. To mark this momentous occasion, Buckingham Palace has approved the release of The King Charles III Coronation Gold Quarter Sovereign.

Restricted Mintage of just 2,023 Gold Coins Worldwide

A masterpiece of minting, The King Charles III Coronation Gold Quarter Sovereign has been issued with an exceptionally restricted edition limit of just 2,023 coins worldwide. This low mintage, set to coincide with the year of King Charles III’s coronation, will be of great importance to collectors. It is precisely these types of low-mintage gold coins that are most coveted by Numismatists and highly sought after for their collectability. The Coronation of our new King on the 6th of May is such a momentous occasion that Heritage Coins have reserved the full allocation of the mintage for our collectors.

Unique Portrait of King Charles by Jody Clark

King Charles III’s coronation is a celebration of not only His Majesty but also an ode to tradition and legacy. These elements are perfectly reflected in the design of the coronation gold quarter sovereign. On the obverse is Jody Clark’s exceptional portrait of our new king. Jody Clark designed the Fifth (and final) Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which appeared on all her British coinage from 2015 to 2022. King Charles has chosen to be portrayed without a crown for his coinage, keeping it understated and ‘simple’ and modern.

The design for the coin’s reverse is a nod to history; it showcases the majestic Sovereign's Orb, an iconic symbol of our monarchy; it has been an essential part of the Coronation Ceremony for centuries. Surrounding the orb are design elements from the gates of Buckingham Palace welcoming our new king.

Struck in Solid 22 Carat Gold in Highest Quality Proof

For centuries, gold sovereigns have been handed down from generation to generation as a way of preserving our history. Just like its forebears, The King Charles III Coronation Quarter Sovereign is struck in solid 22-carat gold, the traditional purity of gold sovereign coins. Given the significance of the Coronation, only the highest quality proof editions have been approved for issue. Struck not once but twice onto a specially prepared mirrored surface, every detail of the design stands out with remarkable clarity due to the care and attention of craftsmen in producing the master tools.
