The City Views series from the Royal Mint was launched on 28 April 2022 and started with London. The City Views series used the image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse for the 2022 coins, but the 2023 coins feature King Charles III.
The series is released in gold and silver. The gold coins are all limited edition and for the 1oz gold coins the mintage is 200; 2oz gold is 150; 5oz gold is 25; and 1kg gold 3. These coins are available (subject to stock) from the Royal Mint Shop.
The Reverse of the coin, designed by the Royal Mint Design Department, shows a panoramic of Rome based on Aspect général de Rome by Jacques Alphonse Testard, showing the cityscape as seen from the top of the Janiculum Hill in the nineteenth century.
The edge is milled.

The Royal Mint is the designated place for the UK to mint coins. It dates back well over 1000 years and is a Government-owned company. Formed in the reign of Alfred the Great about the year 886, during the period 1279-1812 it was generally referred to as The Tower Mint as it was housed at the Tower of London. The Master of The Royal Mint has included famous figures such as Sir Isaac Newton.
Since 2010 it has operated as Royal Mint Ltd, a company owned by HM Treasury, under an exclusive contract to supply all coinage for the UK although it also produces medals and coins for other countries. It is currently located at Llantrisant, Wales.
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The United Kingdom (UK) is the Union of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is often refered to as Great Britain (GBR). It has a long, rich history. The orignal coinage was Pounds, Shillings and Pence but since decimalisation on 15 February 1971, it is £1 = 100p, that is One Pound = 100 pence. The coinage of the UK is also a long history, the Royal Mint being established as long ago as 886AD when coins were hammered. Today there is perhaps 30 billion coins in circulation, and many (numismatic) collectors coins and sets are issued frequently in gold, silver and other metals.
