Obverse
The obverse of the 2023 British Gold Britannias presents a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Jody Clark in 2015, this is the fifth and final effigy of Elizabeth II used on British coins. Elizabeth II, Englands longest-reigning monarch, was crowned on June 2, 1953, in a ceremony watched by over 27 million people in the UK.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 2023 1 oz Gold Britannia Coins shows Britannia. Philip Nathan designed this image in 1987, portraying Britannia standing along the British coast. She holds a trident in her right hand, an olive branch in her left, wears a Corinthian helmet, and has a Union Jack shield at her side.
History
In 2023, The Royal Mint transitioned the Britannia Series from images of Queen Elizabeth II to its first portraits of King Charles III. This was a notable event as it marked the first appearance of a monarch other than Elizabeth II on these coins.
