King Charles III Five-Ounce Silver Coronation Medallion plus Bonus 2023 $5 King Charles III Royal Cypher Coin

His Majesty King Charles III has officially authorized this limited-edition five-ounce fine-silver medallion for Canadians to commemorate the May 6, 2023 coronation. Engraved by retired Royal Canadian Mint senior engraver Susan Taylor, the obverse features a new effigy of His Majesty wearing the Imperial State Crown together with the King's Royal Cypher.  

The reverse features the May 6, 2023 date of the coronation together with a wreath of six Canadian maple leaves encircling St. Edward's Crown. Each maple leaf represents one of the kings and queens of Canada since Confederation: Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth II, and now King Charles III. St. Edward's Crown is the central motif, as it has been used for the formal coronation ceremony of British monarchs for more than 700 years.

The medallion has a 65.25-mm diameter and a frosted proof finish. It is presented in a premium-quality mahogany-finish display case together with a certificate of authenticity.  Medals or medallions have been issued for the coronation of every British monarch for more than five centuries, and this attractive collectible continues the long tradition.

Bonus Coin: 2023 $5 Fine Silver King Charles III Royal Cypher
The simple but elegant design features His Majesty's Royal Cypher encircled by beads together with the denomination and "Canada." As a historical anomaly, the obverse of this first King Charles III issue still features a posthumous effigy of late Queen Elizabeth, as the Royal Canadian Mint works towards completing a new effigy for the King. The coin has a weight of one-quarter ounce of fine silver.
