Limited edition 916.7 gold proof Fifty Pence in original packaging featuring the first definitive portrait of the new King. This collectible coin comes from a new Royal Mint collection, commemorating the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II who passed away on 8 September 2022. The Mint struck all of the Queen's UK coins and have issued three new designs in her memory. These coins are the first issued in Britain to feature a portrait of her son, Charles III, as King to the obverse. It's the work of sculptor Martin Jennings and shows the new monarch facing right, the opposite direction to Queen Elizabeth (a tradition that dates back to the seventeenth century). The portrait is accompanied by a legend that reads: 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 PENCE'. The reverse of this coin was inspired by the 1953 Crown, issued to mark the late Queen's coronation.
