Buy a 2022 Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Five Pound Crown Brilliant Uncirculated Coin In Folder
from
£25.00
Brilliant uncirculated 2022 Five Pound coin with new royal portrait to the obverse and a remarkable double portrait to the reverse. This Five Pound coin is part of a new collection from The Royal Mint, commemorating the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II who passed away on 8 September 2022. The range includes the first UK coins to feature the new portrait of King Charles III. It's the work of British sculptor Martin Jennings and shows the former Prince of Wales facing right, the opposite direction to Queen Elizabeth, following a centuries old tradition. This is accompanied by a legend that reads: 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 5 POUNDS · 2022'. The reverse features a pair of portraits of the late Queen by John Bergdahl: one in her youth and one later in life: a celebration of her long reign. The familiar 'EIIR' cypher appears between the effigies, amid decorative flourishes. The words 'ELIZABETH REGINA' appear above with the dates '1926-2022' below. This coin comes in its original packaging from The Royal Mint which protects the fine BUnc finish, designed for collectors. Available in limited numbers, this Crown coin has a face value of £5 / Five Pounds and a diameter of 38.61 millimetres. Please see below for shipping and mintage details.

Every milestone in Queen Elizabeth's remarkable 70 year reign has been celebrated on Royal Mint coinage. From her 1953 coronation to her 2022 Platinum Jubilee, we can chart Her Majesties life of service through her official currency.

You can read more about the extensive range on our blog: First UK Coins With Charles III Portrait: Elizabeth II Memorial Range.
First Definitive Coin Portrait Of Charles III
Coins in the Queen Elizabeth memorial collection will be first to feature a new portrait of King Charles III.
The first definitive effigy of the King is the work of Martin Jennings, a British sculptor. The portrait was chosen via a closed competition and approved by the new monarch. As expected, the design shows Charles facing left, the opposite direction to his mother: a tradition that dates back to the seventeenth century.
Jennings' portrait shows King Charles without a crown, his name rendered in English for the legend as 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D' rather than the Latin 'CAROLUS' as some had been expecting. 'REX' translates to 'King,' replacing 'REG' or 'REGINA' as used on the Queen's coinage.
New 50p With Historic Reverse
It's likely that the first Charles III coins we find in our change will be a new 50p because the Royal Mint has announced that this commemorative design is headed for circulation.
This coin may look familiar because it's a recreation of the 1953 Crown, issued to mark Her Majesty's coronation. The design shows the constituent parts of the royal arms with national flower emblems between them: an English rose, a Scottish thistle, an Irish shamrock and a Welsh leek which hides the date: 2022.
The design is the work of heraldic artist Edgar Fuller and was modelled by Cecil Thomas.

£5 Crown With Double Portrait
John Berghdahl's Five Pound coin is a new design but, like the 50p, it pays tribute to the Queen's long life of service.
This coin shows two new portraits of Her Majesty the Queen. The bust to the left shows a youthful Elizabeth who faces while the more mature portrait to the right. The legend above reads 'ELIZABETH REGINA' with '1926-2022' below.
These twin portraits, surmounted by St Edward's Crown and separated by the late Queen's 'EIIR' cypher, draw on the definitive effigies seen on her coinage down the decades with the three-quarters pose and the flourishes behind adding something new to this memorial coin.

Commemorative Oz Memorial Coins
A celebration of two British monarchs on one coin, marking a moment of transition.
These collector's pieces feature King Charles III to the obverse and a new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to the reverse.
The graceful reverse design is also the work of John Berghdahl and shows Elizabeth II wearing a triple string of pearls, facing right as she did on her own coinage. A wreath of laurel leaves and roses, tied with a ribbon, surrounds the portrait which is enclosed by the legend 'ELIZABETH REGINA 1926-2022'.
These oz coins take clear inspiration from historic numismatic design. It's worth comparing this to the portrait of Queen Victoria, ensnared with laurels, that appears on one side of her Diamond Jubilee medals.

We are always proud to show off our previous customers experiences with you and what they thought of our purchasing through with Britannia Coins.
Easy to use website. Fast and easy checkout. And items dispatch next business day with tracking. Only thing is coins sometimes are not up to snuff and have marks or spots Etc. BCC does quality checks but can be improved.

Buon giorno. Avete un negozio online ben fornito e di facile utilizzo. L'imballaggio del prodotto è stato ottimo. Ho solo un reclamo da fare ! Ho provato a chiamare presso op vostro negozio più volte senza avere nessuna risposta , ho usato anche il vostro contatto watzap ma anche in questo caso non ho avuto risposta. Vi ho contattato a luglio e agosto per sapere se erano previste le spese doganali,in fine ho acquistato senza sapere ....

Very easy to use website I think you enter the website and there's the latest "live metal prices" with an "Enter Search Item" bar at the top of the page. I like the fact it has the search feature as the home page. When you search for the item(s) it quickly shows the results, along with images of the coins or coin sets. I like that, too. The only downside with these types of businesses, is that you can't get to see a close up image of the coin and/or coin set you are buying. I feel that, because this company buys coins from collectors, etc. that they will have several items that are the same, but in varying degrees of quality and condition, and then, when your buying a 2nd hand item, it's going to be a case of pot luck on what you're going to get. And so, if it was possible, I'd love for BCC to get images of each item that you're going to buy. This is so you know what you're getting before you buy it. That said, every item I've bought from BCC has been of a very nice quality. Two of the coins were of a staggering high quality and the two sets I bought were much better than the average coin sets from eBay. I would say that BCC are the best company in the UK when it comes to used and brand new coins and coin sets. Not only that, the speed at which they get your order processed and delivered to your door is very very fast. The packaging is also on point and highly professional. Also, and one of the most important things, I really trust the Britannia Coin Company. Their prices are very fair and their items are clean and in good condition. They also have a good standing within the coin community.
