Although Sixpences disappeared from circulation after Decimal Day, The Royal Mint reintroduced annual collector editions in 2016. The 2023 silver Sixpence marks a historic milestone as the first of these coins to feature Charles III.
These coins feature a familiar design by John Bergdahl, inspired by Victorian sixpences and featuring a wreath of national flowers with King Charles III's cypher in the middle and 'SIXPENCE' above.
The obverse displays Martin Jennings' definitive uncrowned coinage portrait of His Majesty, introduced following his accession to the throne. The legend reads 'CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF ·'.
Struck in solid .925 sterling silver by The Royal Mint, these coins are similar in appearance to historic Sixpences but boast a premium, brilliant uncirculated finish, achieved with multiple strikes of hand-prepared dies.
Presented within a beautifully designed gift card, this 2023 collector's coin is ready to post as a meaningful seasonal gift or thoughtful wedding present, marking the beginning of a new royal chapter.
