2026 King Charles III Royal Arms Bullion Coins

What is the Royal Coat of Arms?

For the first time on bullion coinage, this release features the official coat of arms for British monarch, King Charles III.

Originally painted by Timothy Noad before adapting his design into coin-form, the design is a new artistic rendering of the Royal Arms of 1837, featuring the Royal Crown depicted in the form commonly referred to as the Tudor Crown.

These Royal Arms serve as the official heraldic emblem of His Majesty King Charles III and represent the sovereign identity of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. They are widely used to symbolise the authority of the Crown, both within the UK and across many Commonwealth realms. While this design reflects the standard form of the Royal Arms, it is not fixed or officially sealed. Artistic interpretations may vary, allowing the emblem to be adapted for use across a wide range of applications, including architecture, awards, coinage, and official insignia, while maintaining its recognisable heritage.

What is Bullion?

Bullion refers to precious metals like gold and silver, valued primarily for their weight and purity. It’s typically bought as coins or bars and traded close to its intrinsic metal value. This is irrespective of the coin's condition, unlike proof and uncirculated products, that may have a value above the intrinsic price.
