The obverse portrays King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings. The inscriptions accompanying His Majesty’s effigy read “CHARLES III·D·G·REX·F·D·100·POUNDS,” which stands for the King’s name, the Latin initials “By the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith,” and the coin’s monetary denomination.
Britannia, designed by Philip Nathan in 1987 on the reverse side, stands in the fierce wind, wearing a helmet and holding a trident to represent her naval history and the Union Jack Shield.
The first circle around Britannia has micro engravings that read “Decus et Tutamen.” On the outer rim, the inscription “‘BRITANNIA’ 2026’ 1 oz’ 9999’ FINE’ GOLD’” describes the series, issuance, weight, purity, and metal content.
Four anti-counterfeiting measures are incorporated into the reverse design.
The first anti-counterfeiting measure is the micro-text “Decus et Tutamen,” which means “an ornament and a safeguard” around Britannia’s artistry. As you move the coin, the image on the lower left changes from a padlock to a trident. The movement also brings life to the waves in the background because of the surface animation. Finally, Britannia’s shield is imprinted with tincture lines alternating patterns.
The first coin released in the British Britannia bullion series was the 1 oz coin. Available as of 1987, the 1 oz British Gold Britannia is the staple of the series and features a beautiful, modern effigy of the Britannia on the reverse of the coins each year.
Since 1672, Britannia has consistently been featured on British coinage. This design was created in 1987 by Philip Nathan for the debut of this bullion series. It casts Britannia as a defender of the realm. She stands along a rocky outcrop with a Union Jack shield and olive branch in one hand, with a trident in the other.
Gold Britannia coins rank among the gold coins with the highest face value on the market, carrying a £100 denomination and full legal tender status backed by the UK.
They are crafted by the Royal Mint, containing 1 troy oz of 999.9 fine gold, and they combine exceptional bullion quality with rich cultural heritage.
Each coin features the timeless figure of Britannia, a national emblem of pride and resilience for centuries, alongside the effigy of the reigning British monarch, King Charles III.
