- Micro text gives both decoration and protection – ‘an ornament and a safeguard’
- Britannia’s shield bearing the Union Flag accented with tincture lines
The 2023 Coronation Britannia coins will be the only Britannia bullion coins in history to feature the first crowned effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.
The official crowned bullion effigy struck to mark the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III does not feature the traditional Britannia edge castellation. In line with The Royal Mint’s commitment to sustainability, we have used the same crowned obverse as the rest of the Coronation bullion coin range to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
