King Charles III 75th Birthday £5

2023 King Charles III 75th Birthday £5

This year, His Majesty King Charles III celebrates his 75th birthday, his first birthday as our reigning monarch.

£5 coins have always been reserved for key royal anniversaries and significantly, this is the first £5 coin that has been solely dedicated to our now King.

On the reverse design, floral emblems can be seen surrounded the number 75 and His Majesty’s Royal Cypher.

75th Anniversary of the NHS 50p

Also celebrating its 75th birthday this year is our beloved National Health Service.

Our NHS has kept us safe for ¾ of a century and significantly, has saved millions of lives.

This year, The Royal Mint issues its second NHS 50p, following on from the incredibly popular 1998 coin.

Its reverse design features words synonymous with the NHS, including Dedication, Respect, Empathy, and Knowledge.

Windrush Generation 50p

2023 King Charles III Windrush Generations 50p

2023 will mark 75 years since the arrival of the Windrush ship, carrying many people from British Commonwealth countries who had been granted British citizenship from the British Nationality Act.

However, the Windrush generations experiences were different than imagined.

To say thank you, and to celebrate their sacrifices and contributions, The Royal Mint has issued a brand new 50p.

Flying Scotsman £2

2023 marks 100 years since the Flying Scotsman entered service.

This is the world’s most famous steam engine and is easily the most recognized.

It was the first locomotive to run on the newly formed London and North-Eastern Railway line.

To celebrate its centenary, The Royal Mint has issued this brand-new £2 coin – one of the first £2 coins to bear King Charles III’s portrait on the obverse.

J. R. R. Tolkien £2

2023 King Charles III J. R. R. Tolkien £2

3rd January is official J. R. R. Tolkien Day – the birthday of the Lord of the Rings author.

His works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, have since gone on to be adapted as some of the highest-grossing films of all time.

To celebrate his birthday, The Royal Mint has issued this brand-new £2 coin.

It features a quote taken from Tolkien’s famed fantasy novel, The Fellowship of the Ring.


We can’t wait to see the individual issue of each of these coins, but of course, we will have to wait several months for each of these to be available.

That’s why the Annual Coin Set is the best way to get ahead and add these coins to your collection.

    Why does the new 50p coin not have the year 2023 on it. X

    Do you know when the complete set will be released? The one with the 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, all 50p, £1, and all £2 coins. I think is is usually around 14-15 coins in the sets.

      Did you ever get an answer to your question, what has so far been released isn’t an annual set, all denominations are required to make it a proper set.
      Hello Change Checker, any answer yet

        Hi Peter,

        The Royal Mint have have said that they believe a Definitive Coin Set will be launching later this year, but it is too early to communicate an exact date at this moment in time. The Royal Mint is currently experiencing one of its biggest changes to coinage since Decimalisation which means this year’s annual set is slightly different than usual.

        We will keep you updated as soon as we have more information.

        Best,
        Alex

    Hi. Will the 50p coins be entering general circulation sometime in the future??

      At the moment we don’t have confirmation. We usually receive this information when the coins are individually issued, so stay tuned to find out more!
