This 2023 1oz Gold Proof Coronation coin is one of the most important modern Royal Mint issues and remains one of the standout releases marking the accession of King Charles III. With a strictly limited edition of only 500 pieces worldwide, it is among the lowest mintage 1oz gold proofs ever produced for a major royal event.
Struck to the Royal Mint’s highest proof standard in 24 carat gold, the coin features a beautifully crafted coronation themed reverse paired with the first definitive coinage portrait of His Majesty. The deep polished fields, frosted devices and sharply executed detail give this 1oz gold proof a strong visual presence that has made it one of the most desirable commemorative releases of the reign.
This boxed edition includes the original Royal Mint presentation case and certificate of authenticity, offering collectors a complete premium package worthy of the historic occasion.

Why Collectors Value This Coin.
Low mintage crown sized gold proofs are traditionally among the strongest performers in the modern Royal Mint catalogue, and the Coronation series is already regarded as a core set for collectors of the Charles III era. With demand growing for significant early reign pieces, the 2023 1oz Gold Proof has become a key focus for both long term collectors and specialist gold proof buyers seeking limited edition historic commemoratives.
The combination of premium metal content, a milestone royal event, and a mintage of only 500 ensures lasting desirability and positions this coin as a flagship release of the decade.
