US EditionCheck Your Coins - Royal Mint Mistakenly Create King Charles £1 Coins Worth £600
A rare brass £1 coin featuring King Charles, issued by The Royal Mint in 2022, is valued at 600 times its face value due to a minting error, officials said.
- In 2022, the Royal Mint released the first coins bearing King Charles' image following Queen Elizabeth II's death, including a rare £1 coin error.
- The Royal Mint mistakenly produced these £1 coins entirely from brass instead of the intended two-tone nickel, creating an exceptionally rare and unique error.
- Last year, Diane Bath, a 62-year-old Post Office operator in Cumbria, received a rare misprinted brass £1 coin featuring King Charles’ face, which has since been valued at several hundred times its original worth.
- A Royal Mint spokeswoman confirmed quality controls are strict and errors are rare, urging collectors to be cautious and research carefully, while specialist Oliver Reece noted strong markets for such errors.
- This discovery highlights valuable collector interest in minting mistakes and suggests people should check their change, as similar rare coins may still exist in circulation.
