Description

The 2023 UK King Charles Britannia 1oz Silver Coin features the internationally recognised original portrait of Britannia. The design was created By Philip Nathan and is exclusive to The Royal Mint. This is also the first Britannia Coin to feature a monarch other than the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The reverse of the UK King Charles III Britannia 1oz Silver Coin includes a laser engraved wave pattern and latent image marker for added security to the traditional design. There is also a micro-text feature making the coin much more difficult to duplicate. The micro-text that borders the design reads ‘DECUS ET TUTAMEN’, which translates to ‘An Ornament and a Safeguard’. Britannia’s Union flag shield features tincture lines. Details of the coin’s 2023 year-date, weight and fineness also feature on the reverse side.

The obverse of the coin bears the first portrait of King Charles III designed by sculptor Martin Jennings, along with the monetary denomination of 2 pounds.
