2023 1/10 oz Gold Britannia Coin - King Charles III Obverse Design
Along with successful coin collections produced in the British Royal Mint, the Britannia Program is also one of the best-selling gold coins in the world.
Following Queen Elizabeth II’s passing in 2022, the Royal Mint has launched a new obverse design, replacing the Queen as shown in the Type 1 2023 1/10 oz Gold Britannia for King Charles III’s effigy.
You can now purchase the Type 2 2023 1/10 oz Gold Britannia coins online from SD Bullion.
Coin Highlights
- Contains 1/10 oz of .9999 fine gold in BU condition;
- Monetary value of 10 Pounds Sterling and legal tender;
- 38th issue of the Britannia Series - the second in 2023;
- The first official depiction of King Charles III in the Britannia Series on the obverse;
- The reverse displays Britannia, which names the series.
The Design
The new obverse depicts King Charles III in a Martin Jennings portrait for the first time. His Majesty had his left-profile bust elegantly designed, unlike the Queen’s effigy, which used to be of her right-profile. Around the image, besides His name, “CHARLES,” and the face value of “10 POUNDS,” the letters “D. G. REX. F. D” stand for “By the grace of God, King” in Latin.
The reverse design is a creation of Philip Nathan, specially made for the series. Britannia, who represents the nation through a feminine character, has an air of a protector as she carries the Union Jack Shield and trident facing the wind. The information engraved on the outer rim read: “BRITANNIA,” “2023”, “1/10 oz,” “999.9,” and “FINE GOLD,” referring to issuance, weight, purity, and metal content.
Security Features
Since the 2021 edition, Britannia coins have new security features on their reverse side. The background image has a texture motion making waves move as you change the angle of view. It also happens with the trident in focus on the lower left, which turns into a padlock as you move the coin. The Union Jack Shield has tincture lines highlighting the national flag, and micro-text engravings surrounding Britannia’s depiction complete the security features.
