The King Charles III Coronation Proof £10 Coin in 'supersize' 65mm

The coronation of King Charles III on May 6 2023 marked a remarkable chapter in British history. It was a moment when tradition and modernity intertwined as the coronation unfurled to the world as a breathtaking pageant of heritage and ceremonial magnificence — as much a celebration of His Majesty as an ode to tradition and legacy. These elements are perfectly reflected in the design of the King Charles III Coronation £10 Coin.

The stunning King Charles III Coronation £10 Coin boasts an exceptional portrait of His Majesty The King crafted by esteemed coin designer and artist Jody Clark. Eschewing tradition, King Charles III has chosen to be portrayed without a crown for his coinage keeping it understated,  ‘simple’ and modern. Jody Clark also designed the fifth and final portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II which appeared on all Her British coinage from 2015 to 2022. The coin’s reverse is a nod to history; it showcases the majestic Sovereign’s Orb an iconic symbol of our monarchy that 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.

Whilst commemorative coins are ordinarily issued to a five-pound or two-pound denomination the denomination of TEN POUNDS was specifically chosen to match the coin’s impressive diameter and highest proof quality

This remarkable coin has been struck to an impeccable Proof finish. Minted in a ‘super-size’ 65mm the impressively large diameter (almost three times larger than a £1 coin) allows for exquisite detail and clarity that has to be seen to be appreciated. Striking coins at this size to Proof standard is technically demanding as the larger a coin becomes the more tonnage of pressure is required to impress the design into the coin to achieve a Proof finish. The result is a deeper and clearer relief that showcases the artistry of the design making The King Charles III Coronation £10 Coin a masterpiece of minting.
