The King’s portrayal is surrounded by the coin’s engraved face value and the year of issuance, as well as the inscriptions “CHARLES III,” “D.G.F.REX.F.D,” representing the King’s name, and the Latin phrase “By the grace of God, King.” 

The Coronation Reverse Design

The reverse showcases the Royal Arms designed by John Bergdahl, encircled by the engravings “THE CORONATION OF KING CHARLES III 6 MAY 2023.”

The Britannia Reverse Design

Britannia’s design was signed by artist Philip Nathan in 1987, and depicts Britannia, a national feminine personification portrayed in the national coinage since 1672. The current design depicts Britannia as a warrior, wearing a helmet, carrying her trident and the Union Jack Shield against the sea and the wind.

Additional engravings include the series name, issuance, weight, purity, and metal content. 

It also contains the Royal Mint’s exclusive security features. Britannia’s trident turns to a padlock on the lower left as you change the angle of view; the waves imprinted in the background gain movement as you move the coin. And finally, the micro-text engravings around the image - “DECUS ET TUTAMEN” means an ornament and a safeguard.
