Following the death of Queen Elizabeth late in 2022, the designers and sculptures at the Royal Mint have been very busy preparing and producing new designs for all of the coins that they mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official coronation of King Charles will occur in May. The Royal Mint is releasing new coin designs to celebrate this historic event and transition. The Type 2 design for the 2023 Britannia features a newly sculpted portrait of His Majesty King Charles III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Type 1 design featuring his mother, Queen Elizabeth are likely to start becoming scarce in the coming months. The new coins are already shipping from the mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
