NILES,
Ill., May 6, 2024 /CNW/ -- To mark the first
anniversary of King Charles III's
Coronation, The Bradford Exchange Mint is proud to announce a very
special opportunity to acquire a minted tribute to depict three
generations of Royal Succession. HRM King Charles III; HRH
William, Prince of Wales; and HRH Prince George of Wales. All three appear together for the very
first time on a coin minted by The Commonwealth Mint of the UK, on
an exclusive Bradford Exchange commemorative.
The British royal succession was established by the Bill of
Rights (1689) and the Act of Settlement (1701), after King James II fled the country. Parliament
declared he had "abdicated the government" and offered the throne
to his daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange. The Act of
Settlement set rules for succession, including that all successors
must be Protestant descendants of Princess
Sophia, specifically excluding Roman Catholics, and
mandating the Sovereign's communion with the Church of England. The Succession to the Crown Act
(2013), ended male primogeniture for those born after 28 October 2011 and removed disqualification for
those who marry Roman Catholics.
Each magnificent non-monetary tribute coin is 24K Gold plated. The front design features a
central full-color image of William, the Prince of Wales; flanked
by his father, the King; and his son, George; all in Coronation
ceremonial attire. The title of "Royal Succession" appears within
the coin's border design.
The reverse of our coin features an engraved design of the Royal
Seal of England along with the
words His Royal Highness, William, Prince of Wales. When
Prince Charles acceded as monarch,
immediately following the death of Queen
Elizabeth II on September 8,
2022, William became the Prince of Wales.
Specially-polished coining blanks, hand-fed into a 360-ton
minting press, are struck multiple times to achieve the pristine
Proof finish's crisp, raised frosted details and mirror-like
background - the highest level of the minter's art.
As collectors know, first, lasts and one-of-a-kinds are
important historical acquisitions.
