Four features you can see in the light
Turn the coin in the light and you can check that it is genuine. According to The Royal Mint, this makes the Britannia one of the most visually secure bullion coins in the world.
The latent image
At the bottom left, below the robes, it alternates between a trident and a padlock depending on the viewing angle.
The micro-text
DECUS ET TUTAMEN, an ornament and a safeguard, runs around the figure. The words already appeared on the edge of English coins in the 17th century.
The waves
When the coin is turned, waves seem to move behind the figure.
The lines in the shield
Fine, smooth lines trace the light and dark tones of the flag.
200 times narrower than a hair
According to The Royal Mint, this is how narrow the indentations are that a picosecond laser makes for the waves.
From Hadrian to Charles III
around119
On Roman coins
Under Emperor Hadrian, Britannia appears on a coin for the first time: a woman on rocks, with a spear and a shield, and below her the word BRITANNIA.
1672
Back on English coins
She returns on England’s first official copper coins, the halfpenny and the farthing, under Charles II. Tradition has it that Frances Stuart, a lady of the court, sat as her model.
1987
The Britannia in gold
Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson approves a new 100-pound gold coin. It is named after Britannia and initially struck in 22-carat gold.
2013
In 24-carat gold
Since then, the gold Britannia has been struck in 24-carat gold.
2023
The King’s portrait
According to The Royal Mint, the 2023 Britannia is the world’s first bullion coin to bear the official portrait of King Charles III. The sculptor Martin Jennings called it his smallest work.
The Royal Mint in Wales
Since 1975, The Royal Mint has struck coins only in Llantrisant in South Wales. Queen Elizabeth II had opened the first phase of the site on 17 December 1968.
By its own account, it looks back on a history of more than 1,100 years.
Every year, an independent jury tests the weight and fineness of its coins at Goldsmiths’ Hall in London, during the Trial of the Pyx.
“Steadfast in the eye of the storm.”
This is how The Royal Mint describes its Britannia.
In fine gold.
