39.94 grams of 22 carat Gold,this coin has been graded from PCGS as PF70UCAMEO FIRST RELEASES with the blue label. These coins are among the first UK commemorative issues to feature a portrait of King Charles III. Charles is shown facing left in Martin Jenning’s new definitive coinage portrait: the opposite direction to Her Majesty who was always shown looking right. Jenning’s work is paired with a new one-off reverse by Jody Clark: best known for his fifth and final coin portrait of Her Majesty. It shows a new interpretation of the royal arms, taking the same theme as Timothy Noad’s 2022 Platinum Jubilee design but adding a touch of Clark’s trademark realism in the lion and unicorn supporters as well as a rich background of flourishes and national flower emblems. It’s a dense and detailed design which may be best appreciated on the 36.02 millimetre surface of these Five Sovereign coins. These pieces are struck to a historic specification in 39.94 grams of 22-carat (916.7) gold.
