Product Information

Each piece has a deep connection to the monarchy and it is this interplay between private and crown that makes them so valuable.

While there will be public events, parties and even a Coronation Concert taking place over the course of King Charles' coronation long weekend (which includes a bank holiday on Monday 8 May,) if you're after a keepsake to remember the occasion for years to come, you may be looking for Coronation memorabilia to mark the historic event. Whether you want to keep a souvenir for yourself or want to show it to your children and grandchildren in years to come, you may be after a piece to remind you of this monumental event in history. This paper weight is made from crystal. As we start to become paperless, manufacturers are starting to produce less paperweights. The extraordinary generosity of this deal becomes clear when viewed through the lens of the queen’s jewellery collection and almost certainly means every gem will have been passed on to Charles. The golden ampulla, which dates from 1661, is a flask in the shape of an eagle that holds the holy oil, which was consecrated in Jerusalem in March and will be used to anoint the king. CORONATION SPOON

Two armills, golden bracelets representing sincerity and wisdom, are placed on the sovereign's wrists. They are thought to relate to ancient symbols of knighthood and military leadership. I think I got my interest in the Royal family from my mother. When I was a child she would always read magazines about the Royal family to me. Her favourite was Princess Margaret; she’d tell me about her exploits, about Peter Townsend and everything. I always wanted to hear about them. Opting for caution, the Guardian has used a multiplier of 10 to reflecta conservative estimate oftheroyalpremium. Among all this there is one forgotten element: taste. “Personal preference is extremely important in collecting,” says Webbe. “Taste is so crucial to what is and what isn’t collectible. If you like something, there’s probably a good chance someone else will like it too. That’s a huge factor that people forget about in the resale market.” These include the Sword of State, which symbolises royal authority and was made in about 1678, and was used at Charles' investiture as Prince of Wales in 1969. Also to feature will be the Sword of Temporal Justice, the Sword of Spiritual Justice and the Sword of Mercy, which were first used in the coronation of Charles I in 1626.

Morton multiplied Krashes’ estimates tenfold to try to achieve a more realistic value. However an auction of the late Princess Margaret's jewellery in 2006 suggests this may have been a considerable underestimate. A Guardian analysis found items sold for an average of 18 times the auction house’s top-end estimate. It's been almost 70 years since the UK and Commonwealth have seen the crowning of a monarch, so King Charles III's coronation ceremony on Saturday 6 May is set to be a much anticipated and celebrated event. There's a bank holiday weekend planned to celebrate the King taking the throne and we can expect it to be a once-in-a-generation event.

Ahead of the Coronation, it might be tempting to go out and acquire as much merchandise as possible, with an eye on selling it in the future. However, it will pay to be judicious. “Mass-produced items like mugs, tea towels and flags are highly unlikely to rise or even retain their value over time, so invest in limited-edition merchandise such as coins and stamps,” says Lo.
