In 1998 the Royal Mint honoured Prince Charles’s 50th birthday with a rather handsome £5 piece. It has Prince Charles on one side and his Mother – Elizabeth II on the other side. For some reason this coin has a very low mintage, perhaps it was the economy at the time. But for whatever reason the mintage was low and it is not easy to get. You have the dates 1948-1998 with the Prince of Wales and his Mother. They are struck in cupro-nickel and the face value is £5.00. Get them while you can, a coin missing from many collections of £5 pieces, don’t let your collection be incomplete.
Last year (2018) Prince Charles celebrated his 70th birthday. The Royal Mint issued a special commemorative £5 piece to honour the event. You have Prince Charles on one side and his Mother H. M. The Queen on the other side. It is a £5 piece that many collectors over looked. What with all the coins the Royal Mint is issuing it is not hard to over look something.
