A glittering precious metal tribute to one of Britain’s most iconic coins, we are delighted to present the Royal Mint’s 500 Years of the Crown 2026 £5 Silver Proof!
The Crown was introduced as a gold coin worth five shillings in 1526, during the reign of King Henry VIII (1509-47). The original gold Crown was known as a ‘Crown of the Rose’, but this was replaced within a few months by a coin known as a ‘Crown of the Double-Rose’. The Crown was first issued in silver under Henry’s son, King Edward VI (1547-53), with gold and silver Crowns issued until the reign of King Charles I (1625-49). Issued in silver thereafter, until the 20th century when also struck in cupro-nickel, the Crown has endured as a mainstay of the British coinage.
Notable for its large size, at 38.61mm in diameter, the Crown has featured some of the most iconic designs in numismatic history. This includes the sublime Queen Victoria 1847 Gothic Crown, the George VI 1951 Festival of Britain Crown and Queen Elizabeth II 1965 Churchill Crown. As we mark the 500th anniversary of the Crown, Britain’s Royal Mint has found the perfect way to celebrate – issuing a commemorative Silver Proof Crown!
Struck from sterling silver, this unique tribute is blessed with a superb motif by noted heraldic artist, Timothy Noad. The design is inspired by that of the King Henry VIII Crown of the Double-Rose, which featured a Crowned Rose, and the crowned initials of Henry and whoever his wife was at the time of issue. Timothy Noad’s design is dominated by a Crowned Rose, flanked by the Royal Cyphers of King Charles III and Queen Camilla! Utterly unique, the obverse carries the portrait of Charles III, united with a decorative border that includes five roses – one for each century of the Crown!
