Whereas under section 3(1)(b), (c), (cc), and (h) of the Coinage Act 1971 We have power, with the advice of Our Privy Council, by Proclamation to determine the design of coins to be made at Our Mint, to determine the weight and fineness of certain gold coins, the remedy to be allowed in the making of such coins and their least current weight, and to determine the weight and composition of coins other than gold coins or coins of silver of Our Maundy money, and the remedy to be allowed in the making of such coins, and to alter any Proclamation previously made under the said section:

And Whereas by Our Proclamations dated the twenty-first day of February 2024, the thirteenth day of March 2024 and the tenth day of July 2024 We determined, among other matters, the design of certain two pound silver coins, the standard weight of certain five thousand pound gold coins and the remedy to be allowed in the making of certain ten pound silver coins:

And Whereas it appears to Us desirable to determine a new design for the said two pound silver coins, a new standard weight for the said five thousand pound gold coins and a new remedy to be allowed in the making of the said ten pound silver coins:

In paragraph 3(4) of Our said Proclamation of the twenty-first day of February 2024, for ‘Our effigy with the inscription “· CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 2 POUNDS ·” and the date of the year, and for the reverse either:’ there shall be substituted ‘Our effigy with the inscription “· CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 2 POUNDS ·” and for the reverse either:’.
