Charles III coronation gold coins
Like many kings and queens before him, King Charles III's coronation was commemorated with a number of gold coins. Unlike previous coronations, Charles III's gold coinage was not the first gold coinage of his reign (quarter sovereigns, half sovereigns, sovereigns, double sovereigns and quintuple sovereigns had already been struck with his effigy in 2022), and it was also struck with a crowned portrait of King Charles III.
The strikes and finishes were more varied than for previous coronation coinages too - the quarter sovereign was new altogether and was struck as both bullion and proof coins; the half sovereign was struck as both bullion and proof coins; the sovereign was struck as bullion, frosted proof and proof piedfort coins; the double sovereign was struck as both bullion and proof coins and the quintuple sovereign was struck as both uncirculated and proof coins.
1,250 three coins sets containing proof quarter sovereigns, half sovereigns and sovereigns were struck.
575 four coins sets containing proof quarter sovereigns, half sovereigns and sovereigns and double sovereigns were struck.
1,050 five coins sets containing proof quarter sovereigns, half sovereigns and sovereigns, double sovereigns and quintuple sovereigns were struck.
Additionally, 1,750 proof quarter sovereigns, 2,500 proof half sovereigns, 15,000 proof sovereigns, 960 proof piedfort sovereigns and 660 uncirculated quintuple sovereigns were struck, and a further 1,000 proof sovereigns were struck for milestones sets.
