Comment
This Britannia strike was the second strike with the 2023 date and the first to be issued with King Charles III effigy.The strike continues to feature four security features:
- A latent image which changes from a padlock to Britannia’s famous trident
- Surface animation bringing the background of sparkling waves to life
- Micro text gives both decoration and protection – ‘an ornament and a safeguard’
- Britannia’s shield bearing the Union Flag accented with tincture lines
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Charles III, who is not yet the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. The coin was produced in anticipation of his eventual succession to the throne, and its design reflects the symbolism and imagery associated with the British monarchy. Despite being a non-circulating coin, it is still considered a legal tender in the United Kingdom and its territories.
