Design of the 2023 King Charles III Silver Britannia Coin

The 1 Oz 2023 silver Britannia coin is a newly released coin featuring His Majesty’s portrait.

The coin’s front features King Charles III in a portrait newly released by artist Martin Jennings. Surrounding his face are the coin’s face value of £2 Pounds Sterling, and the words ‘King Charles III’. 2023 is the first year that the Britannia series features His Majesty on the coin, and it is the only year that a Britannia coin has not featured Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The reverse side of the coin features a depiction of Lady Britannia walking on the shores of Britain. She carries a trident in her right hand, and an olive branch with a shield in the other. On the face of the shield is the Union Jack. Surrounding her image are the coin’s weight of 1 ounce, its purity of 9999, and the word’ Britannia’, as well as the metal type.

History of the Britannia Coin Series

The Britannia coin was first released by the Royal Mint in gold in 1986, in both 1 ounce and fractional ounce sizes. The coin quickly became a staple favourite of British and European investors. In 1996 the series was launched in silver, and in 2016 it was launched in platinum. The coin is the UK’s staple bullion coin series, and it is also their most popular bullion coin.

Although Lady Britannia first featured on gold bullion coins in 1986, her conception is much older. Lady Britannia first featured on Roman coinage in around 50AD, during a period when Britain was part of the Roman Empire. Her image is meant to represent the strength and protection of Britain, and she has come to be known as the protectorate of Britain. She has appeared on a number of British coins since that time.

In addition to the Britannia coin series, Lady Britannia also features on a range of gold, silver, and platinum bars issued by the Royal Mint. The Royal Mint issued the bars in response to the overwhelming popularity of the Britannia coin series.

What is the Royal Mint?

The Royal Mint is the UK’s official mint, and the company boasts a history of more than 1000 years. They are responsible for manufacturing all British coins, including precious metals coins on behalf of the UK government. In addition to the Britannia series, the Royal Mint also releases a Valiant Coin, a Queen’s Beasts series, and other special edition coins. The Royal Mint also manufactures the gold sovereign coin. The Sovereign, at 7.3 grams, served as official currency when first released, although today it is only purchased for its gold content. It is the oldest continually minted bullion coin available today. The British Sovereign coin is only available in gold.
