King Charles coin portrait unveiled by the Royal Mint
King Charles' profile appears on the coin, with the reverse side showing the design of the 1953 coronation crown.The monarch on this coin isn't wearing a crown. This isn't uncommon for male monarchs but it's a stark contrast since we had Queen Elizabeth II on our coins wearing one for so long.On the new 50p, there is a Latin inscription which translates to: "King Charles III, by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith".
Coins with similar mintage figures can sell for between £1.14 and £1.36, according to Joe Trewick at The Coin Expert. Make sure you've got good pictures and mention the condition of the coin to avoid leaving buyers disappointed.You can organise doing this via The Royal Mint's Collectors Service, which has a team of experts who can authenticate and value a coin.Do bear in mind you will be charged for the service though. How much depends on the size of your collection.
In most cases, a coin is valuable if a low amount were struck and put into circulation - known as its mintage figure.
