King Charles III's Passion for Wildlife and the Natural World

The 2026 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

The obverse features His Majesty King Charles III's official uncrowned coinage portrait, facing to the left, designed by Martin Jennings.
