The Royal Mint presents a look at a celebratory coin that is meant to capture King Charles III's interests and passions as a part of His Majesty's 75th birthday. It honors his personal beliefs and is dedicated to his commitment to sustainability along with the £5 coin design.
It is made by Dan Thorne, who is a product designer at the Royal Mint. It features artwork that blends traditional heraldic elements that nod to his affinity for nature and work to protect the planet. At the middle is the King's heraldic badge joined by the number 75 to mark his birthday. Other details include oak leaves to symbolize strength and delphiniums, his favorite garden flowers. The inscription reads “RESTORING HARMONY WITH NATURE.”
