The UK 2023 Sovereign: Register your interest
The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III was one of the most momentous occasions in modern British History, marking the culmination of a 74-year journey to the throne.
A huge global spectacle, the ceremony itself defined a new chapter for the British monarchy, as His Majesty The King was crowned alongside Her Majesty The Queen.
And now, you can commemorate this landmark event with the new Coronation Sovereign 2023 Range, celebrating The King’s coronation.
The range isn’t available just yet, but the Struck on the Day Coronation Sovereign has already sold out – so make sure you register your interest below to be the first to receive the latest news on this milestone Sovereign release.
First Trooping the Colour for King Charles III Confirmed for 2023
The Palace have announced that King Charles III will continue the traditional summer birthday parade know as Trooping the Colour – with some key personnel changes.
The first event will take place on 17th June with the Regiments of the Household Division parading along The Mall from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guard’s Parade.
And for the first time Her Majesty The Queen Consort and The Princess of Wales will step up to new roles in the ceremony.
Camilla will take the post of Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, whilst Catherine will become Colonel of the Irish Guards – famous for their Irish Wolfhound mascot.
King Charles III assumes the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiments of the Household Division, leaving his previous position as Colonel of the Welsh Guards free for Prince William.
These are significant changes to the iconic display of British pageantry which has marked the birthday of the sovereign for over 260 years.
Consequently, collectable pieces marking the occasion are bound to be particularly sought after in 2023 – including the annual Trooping the Colour commemorative stamp cover which invariably sells out every year.
So keep checking back closer to the time to make sure you are don’t miss out on any commemorative issues marking the first Trooping the Colour for our new King.

Could the King Charles III Sovereign be the most sought-after ever?
Read our latest blog on the first King Charles III sovereign – a coin that we predict could be one of the most collectable sovereigns ever.
Known as possibly the most famous coin in history, the Gold Sovereign is the collector’s dream. As Britain’s flagship coin, it’s steeped with incredible history – so if there was any piece to add to your collection, this should certainly be it!
Every year, the classic sovereign and the proof collectable versions are always very high in demand. But this year’s sovereign is like no other seen before…
Just released by The Royal Mint, we’d like to introduce you to the brand-new Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Sovereign – the first sovereign to feature the portrait of King Charles III.
The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Sovereign – A Unique Collectible
It’s incredibly rare to come across a Memorial Sovereign as it is – but to coincide with that, the reverse has got a rare change in design too!
Unique to the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Sovereign, the traditional St George and the Dragon design has made way for a new interpretation of the Royal Coat of Arms. This is an updated version of what appeared on the Platinum Jubilee issue last year, so it’s a very fitting tribute to our late Queen.
But that’s not all – what makes this coin even more spectacular is that it’s the first ever sovereign to feature King Charles III’s portrait. This will make it incredibly popular with collectors!
First King Charles III Sovereign
Every so often, a newly released sovereign will exceed the normal levels of collectability. In the past, this has included Queen Victoria’s first sovereign from 1837, George IV’s only sovereign from 1937, and of course, Queen Elizabeth II’s first sovereign from 1957.
And it won’t be long until this sovereign reaches the same level of demand and collectability!
Even if it wasn’t for the unique design, this sovereign would still rank as one of the most important – being the very first sovereign to feature the new King, it will be the collectible to have in the future.
It’s the sovereign that links Queen Elizabeth II’s and King Charles III’s reigns together – making any sovereign collection incomplete without it.
Available in Gold Proof and Piedfort Quality, make sure you get yours today before it’s too late!
