Comment
From this 2017 issue the mint began using the sunburst effect on the reverse for the bullion issue rather than the previous textured effect. While this standard 2017 bullion issue has a textured effect on the obverse the 2017 Trident privy mark strike has a guilloche effect on the obverse (listed separately, see below). The coin has also been issued in 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz Gold BullionInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Pound Elizabeth II (5th portrait; 1 oz Fine Gold) 2017 coin from the United Kingdom is that it features a unique sunburst design on the reverse side, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the coin's overall appearance.
