The faces of the Crown
British Monarchs 2025, 1 ounce silver, picture side
The value side bears the names of the monarchs from Anne to Elizabeth II, in a wreath around Charles III. Portraits of the monarchs in a wreath around a crown.
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 the first decimal coins of 1968, Arnold Machin replaced the wreath with a diadem, a wedding present from Queen Mary. For the portrait from 1985 onwards, Raphael Maklouf first worked from photographs and was then granted two sittings. From 1998, Ian Rank-Broadley let the portrait fill the field, because the coins had become smaller.
Many commemorative pieces for the Queen come from small issuing countries in the Pacific, such as Niue, Tokelau and the Cook Islands, until 2023 with the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley and his initials IRB.
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.

1536 · Hampton Court
Ten guardians on the bridge
In 1536 Henry VIII had the stone bridge over the moat at Hampton Court completed, built of brick and more than 600 tonnes of stone. On it stood ten heraldic beasts, the King’s Beasts, displaying the King’s ancestry.
In the 17th century the bridge and the beasts vanished into the moat for more than 150 years. When the excavation began in 1909, only fragments of the beasts were found; the figures guarding the entrance today are copies from the 1950s.
2 June 1953 · Westminster
Ten beasts in plaster
For the coronation of Elizabeth II, ten heraldic beasts stood outside the Abbey’s glass-fronted annexe, designed by Eric Bedford: six feet tall, made of plaster, the work of James Woodford. His model was the King’s Beasts of Hampton Court.
The ten beasts chosen were those that best showed the Queen’s ancestry, from the Lion of England and the Griffin of Edward III to the Unicorn of Scotland and the White Horse of Hanover.
Copies in Portland stone stand guard at Kew outside the Palm House, a gift in 1956; the plaster figures have belonged to Canada since 1959.
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.

A Kaleidoscope of Royal History
The extraordinary design of this silver coin tells the fascinating story of over 300 years of British monarchy. At the centre sits the magnificent Imperial State Crown, framed by the crowned portrait of King Charles III. Like pearls on a royal chain, the likenesses of his twelve predecessors line the edge of the coin – from Queen Anne to the unforgettable Elizabeth II.
"Each portrait is based on the original mintings of the respective era – a numismatic masterpiece that brings history to life."
Exclusive Finishing Meets the Finest Minting Artistry
The partial gilding lends this rarity a special radiance. Produced in the highest minting quality of Proof, every detail displays the masterful craftsmanship in razor-sharp clarity. The mirror-polished field contrasts perfectly with the frosted reliefs – a visual experience that makes collectors' hearts beat faster.
Why This Coin Represents an Extraordinary Investment
With its very low mintage of just 500 specimens worldwide, this minting positions itself as an absolute rarity on the market. Experienced collectors know: the lower the limitation, the greater the appreciation potential. Historical comparisons impressively demonstrate how strongly limited coins with royal motifs have risen in value.
- The combination of historical significance and minimal mintage creates optimal conditions for value growth
- Partially gilded coins in Proof quality enjoy particularly high demand
- The first year of issue of a new era under King Charles III makes this coin a coveted historical document
- The elaborate packaging in the original case with a numbered certificate underscores its exclusive character
Silver as a Crisis-Proof Investment
In addition to its enormous collector's value, this coin offers all the advantages of a silver investment. The precious metal, with its millennia-long history as a store of value, perfectly complements any portfolio. The growing industrial demand – particularly in future technologies such as electronics and solar technology – combined with limited resources speaks in favour of long-term value stability.
A particular advantage: profits from the sale of silver are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. This rare collector's coin thus combines the best of both worlds – the fascination of collecting with the solid fundamentals of a precious metals investment.
Technical Perfection Down to the Last Detail
With a diameter of 38.60 mm and a fine weight of 31.10 grams of pure silver (999/1,000 fineness), this coin corresponds exactly to one troy ounce. The minting was carried out by B.H. Mayer, a renowned manufacturer that stands for uncompromising quality. As an official legal tender of Niue, the coin carries a face value of 1 Niue dollar.
"A coin that impresses not only through its extremely limited mintage, but also through its flawless execution – a worthy tribute to the British Crown."
Secure one of the few available specimens of this extraordinary minting now. With only 500 pieces worldwide, this partially gilded silver coin is one of the rarest issues of 2025. The very high appreciation potential makes it the ideal addition for discerning collectors in search of the exceptional.
