The Coin of the Year (COTY) Awards have been held every year since 1984, with a panel of judges nominating ten coins in each of the ten award categories. The winners of the most recent edition of the annual COTY Awards were announced at the 2025 World’s Fair of Money®, held in Oklahoma City mid-August.

Updating the effigy featured on circulating coinage is common when a change of monarch occurs, such as in the case of the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II and ascension of King Charles III to the throne, or the abdication of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II to pass the title on to her son, King Frederik X. This is also the case with the Vatican – the smallest sovereign state in the world located within Rome.
