Common questions
How much is the 2023 2 Pounds - Charles III English Rose worth?
No verified sale of the 2023 2 Pounds - Charles III English Rose has been logged on MyCoinage yet.
How many King Charles III £2 coins have been made for circulation?
None that the Royal Mint has recorded. Its mintage data lists the National Flowers £2 with zero struck for circulation dated 2023 and zero dated 2024, and has no entry for the £2 dated 2025. The coins that exist were struck for collector sets.
Can you find the King Charles III £2 in your change?
Not as an issued circulating coin so far. The Royal Mint said in November 2023 that denominations other than the 50p would enter circulation from 2024 in line with demand, but its figures show no £2 coins released. Any example in change came out of a collector set.
What does IN SERVITIO OMNIUM mean on the £2 coin?
It is Latin for "In the service of all". The Royal Mint says the edge inscription was chosen by the King and taken from his inaugural address of 9 September 2022. It replaces the QUATUOR MARIA VINDICO inscription of the Britannia £2.
Which flowers are on the King Charles III £2?
A rose for England, a daffodil for Wales, a thistle for Scotland and a shamrock for Northern Ireland, as the Royal Mint describes them. The royal proclamation words the same design as thistle, rose, daffodil and clover, the floral symbol of the United Kingdom.
Who designed the King Charles III £2 coin?
The Royal Mint credits the reverse to the Royal Mint itself and names no individual artist. The King's portrait on the obverse is by Martin Jennings, whose effigy has appeared on United Kingdom coins since 2022.
How do I identify the 2023 2 Pounds - Charles III English Rose?

History and design
This is the definitive £2 of King Charles III, which the Royal Mint calls the National Flowers £2. It is one of eight new designs unveiled in early October 2023 for every denomination from the 1p to the £2, replacing the Britannia £2 of the previous reign. Production of the new coins began on 2 November 2023, and the Royal Mint said that the 50p would be released first, with other denominations to enter circulation from 2024 in line with demand.
For the £2 that has not yet happened in the Royal Mint's figures. Its mintage data lists the coin with none struck for circulation dated 2023 and none dated 2024, and has no £2 entry for 2025. The last £2 coins it records for circulation are 4,030,000 Britannia coins dated 2022. Every National Flowers £2 so far has therefore come from a collector set.
The reverse shows the plants of the four nations: a rose for England, a daffodil for Wales, a thistle for Scotland and a shamrock for Northern Ireland, with the inscription 2 POUNDS. Behind them is a repeating pattern of three interlocking C's, shared by all eight coins and taken from the cypher of Charles II. The proclamation calls the design the floral symbol of the United Kingdom and names the fourth plant as clover. The Royal Mint credits the reverse to the Royal Mint, with no individual named, and says the coins were created with the support of the Royal Horticultural Society and the RSPB.
The edge is milled with the incuse inscription IN SERVITIO OMNIUM, Latin for "In the service of all". The Royal Mint says the King chose it himself, from his inaugural address of 9 September 2022. The obverse carries the portrait by Martin Jennings with the inscription CHARLES III DEI GRA REX FID DEF and the date.
Varieties and errors
Coins sold in the Royal Mint's 2023 definitive sets carry a small Tudor Crown privy mark on the obverse. No mint errors are documented for this coin.
Collecting notes
Check the date first. The Royal Mint has sold the coin in its 2023 definitive sets, its 2024 definitive set and its 2025 annual set, and its 2026 range also lists a definitive set. On a 2023 coin, look for the crown privy mark.
A loose example should still have an uncirculated finish, since none were issued through banks. The proclamation also provides for gold, silver and platinum versions, and gives the gold and platinum coins a plain edge with the same lettering.
The same series produced the Atlantic Salmon 50p, which did reach circulation. This coin's predecessor is the Britannia £2.
