The guardians of the Crown
Royal Crown Jewels 2026, 2 ounces silver, picture side
The lion and the unicorn hold the royal arms, and the crown itself becomes a coin motif.
1536 and 1953 · The guardians
From Hampton Court to Westminster
On the bridge that Henry VIII had completed over the moat at Hampton Court in 1536 stood ten heraldic beasts, the King’s Beasts. Following their example, James Woodford created ten beasts in plaster for the coronation on 2 June 1953.
At Kew, copies in Portland stone stand guard outside the Palm House; the plaster figures have belonged to Canada since 1959.
Arms and crown
Lion and unicorn hold the arms
On the Royal Arms gold of 2022, the lion and the unicorn hold the royal arms, with the motto “DIEU ET MON DROIT” beneath. For the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, the Sovereign too carried the royal arms instead of St George.
The Heraldic Beasts are issues of Niue: the lion in 2025 in silver and gold, the unicorn in 2026 in silver, with the portrait of Charles III on the value side.
The Lion and the Eagle unites the British lion and the American eagle, designed by Jonathan Olliffe.
The crown as a motif
Crowns in silver and gold
For the coronation the Royal Mint struck the King’s monogram beneath the crown, among others on one ounce and on a tenth of an ounce of gold.

The Sovereign
A gold coin travels the world
Henry VII gave the name Sovereign to a new gold coin in 1489. In the 19th century the Sovereign was called the “chief coin of the world”, accepted even in Brazil.
The Royal Mint also struck it at branch mints, from Sydney from 1855 to Pretoria from 1923, almost 500 million pieces in all. Today the Australian Sovereign of the Perth Mint shows a new St George, drawn by Jennifer McKenna.
The faces of the Crown
One face, seven decades
Mary Gillick showed Elizabeth II with a laurel wreath instead of a crown, and Jody Clark chose the diadem of her coronation in 2015: the first and the fifth of her portraits on British coins.
On British coins the portrait of Charles III is by Martin Jennings; the King approved it himself. The Queen’s British coins remained valid: some 27 billion were in circulation when the first circulating coins with Charles were struck.

There are coins you own. And there are coins you admire. This one undoubtedly belongs in both categories. The 2 oz Silver Edward's Crown 2026 from the "Royal Crown Jewels" series is far more than an ordinary silver coin – it is a numismatic masterpiece that fascinatingly combines history, craftsmanship and rarity. With a mintage of only 350 pieces worldwide, this is a genuine rarity that makes the heart of every ambitious collector beat faster.
The Edward's Crown – Symbol of Royal Power Immortalised in Silver
The central design of this collector's coin is the famous St. Edward's Crown, the legendary coronation crown that has been used for centuries at the enthronement of British monarchs. What can be seen on the coin is simply breathtaking: the crown rises in spectacular Ultra High Relief from the coin's surface – almost as if you could reach out and grasp it. The golden crown frame is set apart from the antique silver background through partial gilding, while the purple velvet body shines in rich violet through elaborate colouring.
Every last detail has been executed with the utmost precision. The crown arches, adorned with delicate rows of pearls. The crosses and fleur-de-lys ornaments on the crown band, decorated with tiny emeralds, rubies, diamonds and pink stones. The orb with the cross pattée at the apex. Even the ermine fur trim at the lower edge of the crown is suggested in fine shades of grey and white. In the background, stylised Gothic arches lend the entire composition a majestic depth.
The Obverse – Gothic Elegance Meets Royal Portrait
The obverse also deserves special attention. The portrait of King Charles III is surrounded by an artfully designed Gothic rosette pattern reminiscent of the windows of medieval cathedrals. The inscriptions "CHARLES III · NIUE 2026 · 5 DOLLARS" and "2oz 999 SILVER" frame the portrait. Even here, the exceptional quality of the antique finish is evident – every line, every contour appears to belong to another era.
Why This Coin Is an Absolute Exceptional Piece
Let the facts speak for themselves: 350 pieces. Worldwide. No more. In a world where popular bullion coins are struck in mintages of millions, such a strictly limited edition is an absolute rarity. Experienced collectors know that such extremely small mintages have historically demonstrated remarkable appreciation potential – particularly when the choice of design, quality of workmanship and series concept are all on point.
"The St. Edward's Crown is not just any symbol – it is THE symbol of the British monarchy. This coin captures all of its splendour."

Silver as a precious metal has a tradition spanning thousands of years. It has been valued by cultures around the globe as a means of payment, jewellery material and store of value. Gains from the sale of silver are also generally tax-free, provided the holding period is at least one year – a not inconsiderable advantage for long-term oriented collectors and investors.
Compared to classic bullion coins such as the Maple Leaf or the Vienna Philharmonic, which are available in mass mintages, the Edward's Crown 2026 operates in an entirely different league. This is not about pure material value – this is about artistry, exclusivity and the fascination of holding one of only 350 pieces in existence worldwide. Secure this extraordinary collector's piece before the last available examples are sold out.
