Memorabilia of King Charles' coronation: the beautiful and the bizarre

Now that King Charles has been crowned alongside his wife, Camilla, don't hesitate in grabbing some memorabilia. Some of the items on this list may well be worth some serious money in the future. They can be beautiful, crafted objects, and others... well, they are downright bizarre.

We begin with some commemorative coins - popular with collectors and royal fans alike. This commemorative has been made from 1/5oz of 22 Carat Gold and features a rather beautiful new design by royal artist Quentin Peacock. Only 200 of these commemoratives have been authorised for release and each one comes with a certificate of authenticity. An ideal buy for collectors who want to make some future money from royal memorabilia but it does set you back £700!

Or what about these Royal Mint coins? A collection of five specially chosen 2023 commemorative coins, including the 75th birthday of His Majesty The King. There are only 7,500 of these made and are now sold out. At a price of £104, it's hardly surprising people will hope to make a profit out of these souvenirs.

Finishing a look at the commemorative coins, how could we miss the 2023 United Kingdom Gold Proof Commemorative Coin Set. Only 150 were made and each set costs a casual £8,015. Needless to say, these are still in stock if you're feeling flush.

One of our favourites on this list is this beautiful tin that plays 'God Save the King' as it spins, brought to us by Fortnum & Mason - the renowned British shop that gives us expensive and unusual flavours. The biscuits themselves pay tribute to the flavours and ingredients of the Commonwealth and are well worth the £35 in our opinion.
