Limited edition BUnc Fifty Pence: the first to feature a new royal portrait. This collectible coin comes from a new Royal Mint collection, commemorating the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II who passed away on 8 September 2022. The Mint struck all of the Queen's UK coins and have issued three new designs in her memory. These coins are the first issued in Britain to feature a portrait of her son, Charles III, as King to the obverse. It's the work of sculptor Martin Jennings and shows the new monarch facing right, the opposite direction to Queen Elizabeth (a tradition that dates back to the seventeenth century). The portrait is accompanied by a legend that reads: 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 PENCE'. The reverse of this coin was inspired by the 1953 Crown, issued to mark the late Queen's coronation. The arrangement of the constituent parts of the royal arms around a central crown with national flowers in between was designed by Edgar Fuller and Cecil Thomas. The pattern has been modified to include the year of issue: 2022. It's a tribute to British coinage heritage and the memory of Elizabeth II, seventy years after she acceded to the throne. This 50p is struck in cupronickel and has the same weight and dimensions as a standard circulating coin. The difference in the BU finish. Designed for collectors, BU coins allow you to enjoy all the fine detail of the designs. The finish is protected by the original Royal Mint packaging. Please see below for shipping and mintage details.

Every milestone in Queen Elizabeth's remarkable 70 year reign has been celebrated on Royal Mint coinage. From her 1953 coronation to her 2022 Platinum Jubilee, we can chart Her Majesties life of service through her official currency.

Following the Queen's peaceful passing on 8 September, the Mint has issued one last tribute in the form of a memorial coin collection. Whether you're a royal fan or a collector of British coins, these pieces represent the perfect memento of Elizabeth II's life and legacy

You can read more about the extensive range on our blog: First UK Coins With Charles III Portrait: Elizabeth II Memorial Range.

First Definitive Coin Portrait Of Charles III

Coins in the Queen Elizabeth memorial collection will be first to feature a new portrait of King Charles III.

The first definitive effigy of the King is the work of Martin Jennings, a British sculptor. The portrait was chosen via a closed competition and approved by the new monarch. As expected, the design shows Charles facing left, the opposite direction to his mother: a tradition that dates back to the seventeenth century.

Jennings' portrait shows King Charles without a crown, his name rendered in English for the legend as 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D' rather than the Latin 'CAROLUS' as some had been expecting. 'REX' translates to 'King,' replacing 'REG' or 'REGINA' as used on the Queen's coinage.

New 50p With Historic Reverse

It's likely that the first Charles III coins we find in our change will be a new 50p because the Royal Mint has announced that this commemorative design is headed for circulation.

This coin may look familiar because it's a recreation of the 1953 Crown, issued to mark Her Majesty's coronation. The design shows the constituent parts of the royal arms with national flower emblems between them: an English rose, a Scottish thistle, an Irish shamrock and a Welsh leek which hides the date: 2022.

The design is the work of heraldic artist Edgar Fuller and was modelled by Cecil Thomas.

£5 Crown With Double Portrait

John Berghdahl's Five Pound coin is a new design but, like the 50p, it pays tribute to the Queen's long life of service.

This coin shows two new portraits of Her Majesty the Queen. The bust to the left shows a youthful Elizabeth who faces while the more mature portrait to the right. The legend above reads 'ELIZABETH REGINA' with '1926-2022' below.

These twin portraits, surmounted by St Edward's Crown and separated by the late Queen's 'EIIR' cypher, draw on the definitive effigies seen on her coinage down the decades with the three-quarters pose and the flourishes behind adding something new to this memorial coin.

Commemorative Oz Memorial Coins

A celebration of two British monarchs on one coin, marking a moment of transition. 

These collector's pieces feature King Charles III to the obverse and a new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to the reverse.

The graceful reverse design is also the work of John Berghdahl and shows Elizabeth II wearing a triple string of pearls, facing right as she did on her own coinage. A wreath of laurel leaves and roses, tied with a ribbon, surrounds the portrait which is enclosed by the legend 'ELIZABETH REGINA 1926-2022'.

These oz coins take clear inspiration from historic numismatic design. It's worth comparing this to the portrait of Queen Victoria, ensnared with laurels, that appears on one side of her Diamond Jubilee medals.
