2023 1/4 oz Gold Britannia King Charles III

Britannia is one of the oldest symbols of Britain, evolving from the time of Roman rule to become a representation of a modern, forward-looking nation. For 2023, this Britannia bullion coin blends classical design with innovation to redefine security in the bullion market. Philip Nathan’s award-winning portrayal of Britannia includes groundbreaking features that make it the most visually secure coin in the world. Britannia’s strength and beauty is enhanced with security features that both decorate and protect the coin, such as the micro-text of ‘Decus et Tutamen’ that borders the design and translates as ‘An ornament and a safeguard’. In the lower left-hand of the design, below Britannia’s flowing gown, is a trident to represent her naval history and, as the viewer changes their perspective, the trident becomes a padlock, emphasising the coin’s secure nature.
