This second release of the 2023 British Silver Britannia features the all-new bust of King Charles III. Following his mother’s death, Prince Charles ascended to the throne as King Charles III, King of England. His portrait is now ready for use on British coins and makes its debut in this series. The Royal Mint Silver Britannia bullion coin encapsulates a wealth of history within its artistic rendering. The Silver Britannia contains one troy ounce of .999 pure silver. Guaranteed legal tender by the British government, the 1-ounce coin holds a face value of 2 pounds. The emblematic status of the Britannia dates back to 1797, when she appeared on every monarch-issued penny as a powerful symbol of British liberty and unity. Commissioned by the Royal Mint in 1987, sculptor Philip Nathan’s original Britannia design remains the centerpiece of the coin’s reverse. Britannia’s draping robes billow around her as she firmly plants her trident, a reflection of her nautical association, into the land. In her left hand, she displays both a shield and an olive branch, symbolizing both peace and protection for the British Isles. With a battle helmet secure on her head, Britannia looks over her right shoulder as the sweeping wind flows around her. Nathan’s interpretation of Britannia juxtaposes unwavering strength and elegant beauty in a standing portrait. The inspiring scene is surrounded by a frame that is bounded by a bold line and a waffle trim to hold the coin’s specifications, “1 Oz 999 Fine Silver,” with apostrophe-like separators between each word. The new obverse design elements on 2023 1 oz Silver Britannia Coins feature the new left-profile bust of King Charles III. His Majesty’s effigy was created by Martin Jennings and comes without a crown on his head, a tradition set by previous male monarchs. An etched waffle trim borders the coin’s edge and acts as a pedestal for the right-facing portrait’s declaration, “CHARLES III D G REX F D,” which stands for “Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Defensor” and translates to “Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.” The same apostrophe-like separators seen on the reverse are used to separate the motto and the coin’s face value, “2 Pounds.”
