The 2025 UK Brilliant Uncirculated definitive coin set beautifully depict the diverse flora and fauna of the United Kingdom. Each of these designs is engraved to showcase various animals, including some that are endangered, as well as plants from all four nations.

These designs not only pay homage to the rich biodiversity of the UK but also reflect King Charles III's profound passion for conservation.

What Is a Brilliant Uncirculated Coin?

Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coins are newly minted coins that have never been in circulation. They are considered to be in better condition than typical 'normal' bullion coins but not as great as proof condition coins.

BU coins are created for collectors seeking hand-finished dies to ensure sharper, more pristine images of the coin designs. Collectors can expect to pay higher premiums for these coins from dealers due to their higher condition compared to bullion coins, but the premiums will be lower than those of proof condition coins.

Obverse

Each coin showcases His Majesty King Charles III's uncrowned portrait on the obverse side. Martin Jennings, the designer, created this as the first official definitive portrait of King Charles III to be featured on British coinage during his reign.

I’m already a repeat customer!

I am a recent and already returning customer of Chards. Their gold investors guide on their website was very useful and matched up with a lot of my own research that I had already gathered which helped me to have confidence that I knew what I was doing. I also subscribe to their YouTube channel and have watched all of their gold videos! I have spoken to them over the phone several times and also visited them in person and they are always friendly and happy to answer all of your questions and put your mind at ease. Special mention to Bhumika who has an outstanding level of service! I’m really happy with all of my purchases and am already looking forward to purchasing from Chards again as soon as possible. Chards had the lowest premiums out of all the sellers I was willing to purchase from. The pieces of Blackpool rock included in my orders were a really nice touch and it brought back childhood memories! Thanks Chards!

Been buying sovereigns from chards now for a couple of months, really great service, with low premiums. Coins have been delivered promptly and are of a good quality (best value second hand coins). The process has been so easy. Look forward to more future business💪
