To celebrate the King’s first official birthday as our new monarch, a flagship £5 Proof coin marking His Majesty's 75th Birthday has been released.

The coin itself has been struck to the historic Crown specifications and is fully approved by Buckingham Palace and the King and is the perfect heirloom for you and your family to celebrate the occasion.

The £5 Coin features a brand-new, one-year-only design, specially commissioned to mark this milestone occasion.

The design by renowned heraldic artist Mike Guilfoyle takes inspiration from the historic Charles II Crown, which is a standard cruciform shield with symbols inside the shields representing His Majesty’s life.

The coin has been struck to a pristine proof finish and is strictly limited to just 4,995 coins.
