Common questions
How much is the 2024 5 Pounds - Charles III Buckingham Palace worth?
Verified sold prices for the 2024 5 Pounds - Charles III Buckingham Palace run from £6.49 to £14.00 across 4 grades, taking the median for each grade. Condition makes the difference, so check the grade table above before pricing one.
Who designed the 2024 Buckingham Palace £5 coin?
The reverse is by the artist Henry Gray, whose earlier coin designs include pieces for the British Red Cross and Alexander Graham Bell. The obverse is the coinage portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings. The coin was made in collaboration with Royal Collection Trust.
How many 2024 Buckingham Palace £5 coins were made?
The Royal Mint has published no figure for the cupro-nickel coin, because its commemorative sales pages end with coins dated 2023. Its product pages state maximum coin mintages of 3,760 for the silver proof and 210 for the gold proof. Those are limits, not sales.
Is the Buckingham Palace £5 coin legal tender?
Yes. The proclamation of 15 November 2023 makes the cupro-nickel £5 legal tender for any amount in the United Kingdom. The Royal Mint cautions that crowns are souvenirs, and that although they are legal tender, banks are not required to accept them.
What is the pattern around the Palace on the coin?
The border is taken from the balustrade of the Grand Staircase inside Buckingham Palace. Henry Gray tried many interior and exterior details before the facade was chosen as the central image, with the staircase pattern used to encircle it.
Was the Buckingham Palace £5 in the 2024 annual set?
Yes. The Royal Mint revealed it on 28 December 2023 as one of five new designs in the 2024 annual sets, which went on sale on 2 January 2024. The Mint released it as an individual coin, in Brilliant Uncirculated, silver proof and gold proof editions, on 11 March 2024.
How do I identify the 2024 5 Pounds - Charles III Buckingham Palace?
Check the weight 28.28g and diameter 38.61mm and the metal (copper-nickel) against the specification table on this page. The reverse design is described above.
History and design
The Royal Mint struck the Buckingham Palace £5 for 2024 in collaboration with Royal Collection Trust, to honour the royal residence and the architects, artists and monarchs who shaped it over the past 300 years. It was one of five new commemorative designs revealed on 28 December 2023 and was the crown in the 2024 annual sets, which went on sale on 2 January 2024. The Mint then launched it as an individual coin on 11 March 2024.
This is a collector coin, not a circulating one. The Royal Mint describes £5 crowns as "souvenirs rather than for everyday use", and it has published no striking or sales figure for this one, since its commemorative sales pages end with coins dated 2023. No issue limit is stated for the base-metal coin.
The reverse is by the artist Henry Gray, whose earlier coin work includes designs for the British Red Cross and Alexander Graham Bell. It shows the Palace facade head on, flying the Royal Standard, which signals that the monarch is in residence. The surrounding border is a pattern taken from the balustrade of the Grand Staircase inside the Palace, and the inscription reads BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
Gray has said the brief first asked for views that challenged the familiar front elevation, and that he drew many angles and interior details before the facade was chosen. He described the task as "squeezing 108 metres of ornamental architecture onto a pocket-sized canvas".
The obverse carries Martin Jennings's portrait of Charles III with the inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D 5 POUNDS and the date. The edge is milled.
Collecting notes
The 2024 annual sets were offered in a range of precious-metal and base-metal proof finishes, so a loose coin may have come from a set rather than the single Brilliant Uncirculated pack, which includes an account of the Palace's history. Check the fine lines of the facade and the border, where rubbing shows first.
The proclamation makes the coin legal tender for any amount. The Royal Mint adds that "while crowns are legal tender, banks are not required to accept them".
Unlike many recent £5 issues, the precious-metal versions are true crown-size coins of 38.61mm. The silver proof weighs 28.28g with a maximum coin mintage of 3,760, the silver piedfort is specified at 56.56g, and the gold proof weighs 39.94g with a limit of 210. The gold coin has a plain edge.
