History and design
For Charles III the heraldic artist Timothy Noad drew the rendering of the Royal Arms that appears on the reverse of the King's Great Seal of the Realm, which the King approved at a Privy Council meeting in May 2025, around the second anniversary of his Coronation. The same Arms appear on official documents such as UK passports and on public buildings and churches.
To mark the new Seal the Royal Mint released this £5 crown, announced on 10 May 2025. The Mint said it was the first time King Charles III's Arms had appeared on a UK £5 coin, and offered it in gold, silver and Brilliant Uncirculated editions.
The cupro-nickel coin was sold to collectors. The Royal Mint has published no struck or sold figure and gives no issue limit for it.
The reverse is Timothy Noad's rendering of the Royal Arms, the same design that appears on the reverse of the Great Seal. Noad is a heraldic artist whose earlier coin work includes the floral and heraldic round £1 designs of 2013 to 2015. The royal proclamation describes the reverse simply as a depiction of the King's Royal Coat of Arms with the date of the year, so there is no separate reverse inscription.
The obverse has Martin Jennings's portrait of King Charles III with the inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D 5 POUNDS and the date 2025. The edge is milled.
Collecting notes
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin.
The Brilliant Uncirculated coin is cupro-nickel, 28.28g and 38.61mm, and the Royal Mint states no issue limit for it. The same proclamation authorised a silver £5 of the same size, a double-weight silver piedfort of 56.56g and a gold £5, all with this design. The heraldic detail is fine and close-set, so check the shield closely for contact marks on a coin outside its pack.
The site holds two cupro-nickel entries with this name. The Royal Mint also sold a colour-printed version, so one of the two is probably the colour coin; check for colour on the shield before relying on either entry. The crown is legal tender, but the Mint says banks are not required to accept crowns.
