Philip Nathan’s Britannia stands steadfast amidst crashing waves and beside a shield bearing the Union flag, wearing a classic Corinthian helmet and holding an olive branch representing peace.

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 issued in 2023-2024, but Charles III did not ascend to the throne until 2024, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. This makes the coin a unique collector's item, as it depicts a future monarch before he actually became king.
