2023 Canada $200 His Majesty King Charles III's Royal Cypher 1oz Pure Gold (No Tax)

The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on May 6, 2023 is a momentous occasion as it marks the first coronation of a new Sovereign of Canada in seven decades. The formal investiture of the monarch’s regal power is a spectacle like no other — one steeped in pomp, pageantry and centuries-old traditions that connect the past and future. Culminating in the religious ceremony held at Westminster Abbey in London (United Kingdom), the Coronation of His Majesty The King is both a solemn and celebratory event that will long be remembered, and it is commemorated through the Royal Cypher appearing on this luminous 1 oz. 99.99% pure gold coin.

The coronation ceremony involves six key rituals: the rite of recognition; the swearing of the coronation oath; the anointing with holy oil; the investiture and crowning (with St. Edward’s Crown); the enthroning; and the homage.

Cyphers have been used by British monarchs since the reign of Henry VIII. For her cypher, Queen Elizabeth II favoured a stylized representation of St. Edward’s Crown—the official coronation crown dating from the coronation of King Charles II in 1661. His Majesty The King’s Royal Cypher features a stylized Tudor Crown, the headpiece used by monarchs until the English Civil Wars (1642-1651) and depicted in the royal cypher of His Majesty’s grandfather, King George VI.

The coin’s reverse design features the Royal Cypher of His Majesty King Charles III. Paired with his regnal number “III”, the initials “C” and “R” stand for “Charles” and “Rex” (the Latin word for “King”). The stylized crown in His Majesty’s cypher is a representation of the Tudor Crown, which inspired the four gemstone shapes and the engraved pearls that run along the coin’s edge. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
