The Royal Mint is looking for 75 people who are turning 75 to give them a special £5 coin that celebrates King Charles’ birthday.

Anyone celebrating their 75th birthday this year can submit their name and contact details via The Royal Mint to be in with a chance of receiving a Brilliant Uncirculated £5 commemorative coin. The winners will be drawn at random and asked to provide photographic evidence of age.

People can buy the coin from the Mint, with prices starting at £14.50 for a brilliant uncirculated version of the coin.

Silver and gold versions are also available, with a 2oz gold proof coin with a denomination of £200 priced at £5,305.

The coin pays tribute to the King’s passion for the natural world, featuring the King’s royal cypher and the number 75 framed within oak leaves and delphiniums.

The oak leaves represent strength, morale, resistance and knowledge, while the King’s favourite garden flower, the delphinium, reflects his love of nature, the Royal Mint said.

Modelled as a stone-cut effect to represent the King’s support of the crafts, the 75 was drawn by hand. Insects, such as the ladybird and a dragonfly, also feature as part of the coin design.

The words “Restoring harmony with nature” appear as the edge inscription around the precious metal edition of the coin, which are extracts from a speech by Charles to open Climate Week in September 2020.

The Royal Mint have also struck a special half-ounce silver proof coin, made from a blend of silver recovered from industrial and medical x-ray films, to mark the King’s 75th birthday on 14 November 2023.

Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “For The King’s 75th birthday, the Royal Mint have developed a design which pays tribute to His Majesty’s passion for the natural world and commitment to conservation.

“To mark this milestone birthday, we are thrilled to offer 75 people also turning 75 this year the chance to receive a special commemorative coin.”

More information about the collection and full terms and conditions for the prize draw are being placed on the Royal Mint’s website.
