2023 £2 King Charles III Coronation Royal Cypher NGC MS70 First Releases

The most significant coin issued by the Royal Mint to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III is this special 1 oz. pure silver Royal Cypher coin. The Royal Mint minted a shocking low 150,000 of these historic coins for worldwide distribution! That is a tiny amount when you consider an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II appeared on 29 billion coins produced by 35 countries!

These coins are the first ever to show a crowned effigy of King Charles III

The design shows the crowned portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings with the Latin inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D,  (King Charles III By the grace of God, Defender of the Faith). The reverse design by John Bergdahl features The King’s new royal cypher, a monogram that comprises King Charles III’s interlocking initials and with a Tudor crown above.

This first of its kind historic limited-edition coin is certified in perfect MS70 condition by NGC and has the coveted First Release designation.
