The 2023 Charles III Coronation range from The Royal Mint features £5 coins, a new 50p and a range of troy-ounce coins struck in silver and gold. There's even a special gold Sovereign, due to be struck on the day of His Majesty's coronation. All coins in the range feature the world’s first official crowned coinage portrait of King Charles III, specially created for this occasion.
A piedfort is an unusually thick coin, often exactly twice the normal weight and thickness of other coins of the same diameter and pattern. Piedforts are not normally circulated, and are only struck for presentation purposes by mint officials (such as patterns), or for collectors, dignitaries, and other VIPs.
