Last year, the sad news of Queen Elizabeth II's death shook the nation and, to mark the momentous date, royal memorabilia were created worldwide. Sales soared and collectors and non-collectors alike were keen to get their hands on a commemorative piece, whether it was a coin from the Royal Mint or a decorative mug from the likes of Emma Bridgewater. Find Queen Elizabeth II memorabilia in our carefully selected list.

But as King Charles III's coronation - a more celebratory occasion - is set to take place on 6th May 2023 at Westminster Abbey, wonderful memorabilia are being commissioned and created to celebrate. With coins, stamps and accessories already available, albeit all rather exclusive and limited, now is the time to start thinking about the commemoratives you want to buy and, more importantly, which items are likely to become the most collectable antiques of the future.

We've carefully selected our favourite, and (most importantly) the best quality, coronation memorabilia to buy and collect now.
