| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the moment Charles III appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony following his coronation on 6 May 2023, the first such appearance by a newly crowned monarch since Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. The Falkland Islands has issued commemorative coinage tied to the British Crown consistently since the 1970s, a practice that carries particular political weight given the 1982 conflict and the islands' continued insistence on remaining a British Overseas Territory.
The selective gold plating on a silver-plated base is a production technique that became increasingly common in commemorative issues from smaller issuing authorities after the 2010s, driven by collector market demand rather than any monetary function.
