United Kingdom - 5 Pound - The 75th Birthday of His Majesty King Charles III (PF) - Silver - Proof - 2023

Born at Buckingham Palace on 14 November 1948 and christened Charles Philip Arthur George, His Majesty The King is the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. At the passing of his mother on 8 September 2022, following more than 70 years as heir apparent, he acceded to the throne as King Charles III. His Majesty is passionate about many things, including the arts, architecture and supporting disadvantaged young people. Above all, he has been an ardent campaigner on environmental issues, with his philosophy on sustainability revolving around the principle that it is better to work with nature than to work against it. To celebrate The King’s 75th birthday and in recognition of his love of nature, we have struck a UK coin range featuring a reverse design by Dan Thorne, a product designer at The Royal Mint. The design has been personally approved by The King.
