The British Monarchs Collection celebrates legendary Kings and Queens of the United Kingdom with each coin bearing an original coinage portrait of a monarch as it appeared during their reign, transposed from genuine historical samples using state-of-the-art technology and faithfully recreated for contemporary coinage.
The reverse designed by Nicholas Briot's original design of Charles I on horseback, struck in proof quality which accentuates the details and enhances the overall aesthetics whilst the obverse depicts the first portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
