2023 King Charles II five-ounce silver proof commemorative coin from The Royal Mint's British Monarchs collection.
This is the seventh release in the popular series, inspired by the historic coinage of our Kings and Queens. For this release celebrating the 'Merry Monarch' King Charles II, The Royal Mint's design team has remastered a classic laureate bust by John Roettiers, originally struck on gold Guineas after Charles was restored to the throne in 1660.

A classic coinage portrait of King Charles II is shown on the reverse, adapted from a 17th-century original by John Roettier. Charles is shown with a crown of laurel leaves, with the words 'CAROLVS · II · DEI · GRATIA' around.
Two King Charles' appear on this 2023 coin with Martin Jennings' definitive coinage bust of King Charles III on the obverse, together with a legend that reads 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS · 2023 ·'.
These UK Ten Pound coins are made from five-troy ounces or 156.30 grams of 999 fine silver, struck to proof standard with multiple strikes of hand-prepared dies for a flawless finish with mirrored surfaces and frosted devices.
The Royal Mint authorised the release of only 250 of these King Charles II British Monarchs coins, which is slightly lower than the early issues in this unfinished but very popular series from the UK's national mint.
This pre-owned collectors set is supplied with all of the original presentation packaging from The Royal Mint, which includes a glossy black box, a protective case, a certificate of authenticity and an information booklet.
