2023 New CIIIR King Charles III Coronation Royal Cypher Enamel Pin Badge Brooch Memorabilia Merchandise

Product Information

I don’t have a massive collection like some people out there, but I’d say I have a very good collection. It’s all limited-edition stuff that is worth collecting. I’m primarily interested in coins and porcelain, but I don’t buy things to make money; I’m not a collector in that sense. My reason for doing it is the love of it; I love the Royal family and I love what artists can do with metal and porcelain. That’s what I think about – all the design and the hard work that goes into it. With the launch of the Coronation Emblem in February, King Charles and Queen Camilla have opened the floodgates, relaxing the rules on usage of royal photographs and official insignia so as to allow anyone to produce their own Coronation merchandise. The only rules are that it must be in good taste, free from advertising and carry no implication of royal custom and approval.

The Royal Mint has created a 15kg gold coin in celebration of the King Charles' Coronation. It is the largest coin produced by The Royal Mint in its 1,100-year history with only one made featuring this design. The coronation coin range: The silver-gilt spoon is the oldest piece in the regalia, probably made for Henry II or Richard I in the 12th century. It was used to anoint King James 1 in 1603, and has featured at every coronation since. BRACELETS Valuing the royal family’s private jewellery collection is exceptionally difficult. A professional valuation would require each stone of each item to be inspected for occlusions or other imperfections that cannot be detected by the naked eye.The Coronation ring, known as "The Wedding Ring of England" and composed of a sapphire with a ruby cross set in diamonds, was made for the coronation of King William IV in 1831. Worn at every coronation since then, it symbolises kingly dignity. SWORDS AND MACES The Highgrove Coronation Bear' is Highgrove's latest collectible bear. Limited to just 500, this Coronation teddy bear is handmade by Merrythought, the last remaining British teddy bear manufacturer. This paper weight is made from crystal. As we start to become paperless, manufacturers are starting to produce less paperweights. This set has been produced by the Royal Collection. There is nothing more British than a cup and saucer and because of this its value will hold and rise.

I think I got my interest in the Royal family from my mother. When I was a child she would always read magazines about the Royal family to me. Her favourite was Princess Margaret; she’d tell me about her exploits, about Peter Townsend and everything. I always wanted to hear about them. There are circumstances that will make the manufacturing of a product worth more too. “Anything with a revised date usually fetches more than an original date. For example when Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles, their wedding date was delayed due to the death of Pope John Paul II,” adds Fox. “Memorabilia was already made by this point, and could not be changed, so anything with the amended date on it will be worth a little more than the original.” These include the Sword of State, which symbolises royal authority and was made in about 1678, and was used at Charles' investiture as Prince of Wales in 1969. Also to feature will be the Sword of Temporal Justice, the Sword of Spiritual Justice and the Sword of Mercy, which were first used in the coronation of Charles I in 1626.However you're celebrating King Charles' coronation, make sure you inject a bit of crafty joy into it with one of these gifts – or give the make to a friend who's particularly excited about our new king.
