2023 King Charles III Coronation 1oz Silver Proof Coin
King Charles III’s coronation is an occasion of rare historic magnitude, steeped in ancient rites and spectacle. This once-in-a-lifetime event commands an equally impressive coin to commemorate it, and the 2023 $1 King Charles III Coronation 1oz Silver Proof Coin is just that!
An important opportunity for royal fans and numismatic collectors alike, this spectacularly struck Proof boasts a deeply meaningful and poignant design, uniting past and present in the purest silver, further elevated by enviable exclusivity…
2023 is not only the year of Charles III’s coronation, but also marks the 70th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The inspiring design of this spectacularly struck Niue legal tender coin centers around this meaningful convergence. A unique dual-sided coin, struck from 99.9% PURE SILVER, it features a very special commemorative obverse! A beautiful depiction of a youthful Queen Elizabeth II at her own coronation, 70 years prior, graces the obverse, whilst a richly detailed portrait of King Charles III occupies the reverse. The new king looks toward the future, with his mother gazing towards the past – a touching ode to her years of singularly exceptional service and dedication.
Infused with layers of symbolism and detail, both portraits are framed by Westminster Abby – where every British monarch has been crowned since 1066! The reverse is an intricate celebration of the investiture, during which the monarch is presented with objects representing their power and responsibilities.
King Charles III is shown wearing St Edward’s Crown, the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom, made for the coronation of Charles II, and last utilised for the crowning of Elizabeth II in 1953. Also depicted are the Supertunica (the Robe Royal), and Coronation Ring. The newly crowned king holds the Sovereign’s Scepter, and the Sovereign’s Orb, the cross surmounting the orb signifying the monarch’s power ordained by God.
