2023 UK Brilliant Uncirculated Annual 5 Coin Set

The 2023 Annual UK coin set was issued by the Royal Mint. This is the first coin set to feature King Charles III on the obverse.

This 2023 Annual UK coin set contains 5 commemorative coins and no definitive coin issues.

The five coins in this set are; The 75th Birthday of His Majesty King Charles III, Celebrating the Life and Work of JRR Tolkien, Celebrating the Centenary of Flying Scotsman, 75 Years of the National Health Service and 75 Years of the Windrush Generation.

These 2023 Royal Mint annual coin sets are also in Gold Proof and Silver Proof.

Brilliant Uncirculated

The coins in this set have been struck twice, giving them a brilliant uncirculated finish. This is a higher finish than coins issued for circulation.

The 75th Birthday of His Majesty King Charles III

King Charles III will celebrate his 75th birthday on 14 November 2023. The design that is featured on the reverse is a heraldic design by Royal Mint designer, Dan Thorne and was approved by His Majesty.

Celebrating the Life and Work of JRR Tolkien

This coin celebrates JRR Tolkien's life and his progressive work in the modern fantasy fiction. JRR Tolkien is perhaps best known for his fantasy novels 'The hobbit' (1937) and the popular 'The Lord of the Rings' (1954-55).
