Comment

The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on May 6, 2023 is a momentous occasion as it marks the first coronation of a new Sovereign of Canada in seven decades. The formal investiture of the monarch’s regal power is a spectacle like no other — one steeped in pomp, pageantry and centuries-old traditions that connect the past and future. Culminating in the religious ceremony held at Westminster Abbey in London (United Kingdom), the Coronation of His Majesty The King is both a solemn and celebratory event that will long be remembered, and it is commemorated through the Royal Cypher appearing on this 1/20 oz. 99.99% pure gold coin.

First appearance of His Majesty’s Royal Cypher
His Majesty’s Royal Cypher makes its Canadian numismatic debut on this and other Coronation-themed collectibles from the Royal Canadian Mint. Its appearance on your coin’s reverse signals the start of a new era in Canadian numismatics.

Commemorative packaging
The commemorative packaging is coloured green, which was inspired by the colourful gemstones depicted in the Royal Cypher. It is also a nod to His Majesty’s longstanding commitment and passion for conservation and environmentalism.
