The world's first official crowned portrait of His Majesty King Charles III
The highly collectible coins in the set showcase an image of King Charles III wearing the Tudor crown, which was designed by artist and sculptor Martin Jennings. Despite the Tudor Crown no longer existing as it was destroyed in the 1640s, it was personally selected by the King for the portrait. The image also includes the King's cypher and crown, symbolising his presence inside Westminster Abbey where he is to be crowned.
