For almost a thousand years, each monarch of Britain, and later New Zealand, has been crowned in a special ceremony months after their accession. A coronation is an important day in the history of the nation, a vibrant shared experience for the public, and an occasion of deep personal significance in the life of the monarch. A .5g gold proof coin has been created to commemorate this momentous occasion.

Design

At 11mm in diameter, this exquisite .5g gold coin commemorating the coronation of King Charles III features His Majesty's royal cypher.
