The Royal Mint in Wales has a history dating back to the reign of Edward I in the 13th century, when he established a mint in Cardiff to produce coins for the Kingdom of England. However, it wasn't until 1968 that the Royal Mint officially moved to its current location in Llantrisant, South Wales, due to the need for larger, modern facilities. Since then, it has become one of the world's leading mints, producing coins for the United Kingdom and many other countries, along with commemorative and bullion coins, while also playing a crucial role in the development of currency technology and security.
Britannia is a beloved British figure and is celebrated for her grace and resilience. This personification embodies concepts of patriotism, imperial strength, and national identity, serving as a powerful symbol in British culture and iconography.
The reverse of the Britannia Elizabeth 1oz Silver Coin 2023 was created by sculptor Philip Nathan in 1987 and portrays Britannia standing on rugged rocks draped in a flowing garment. Her right hand clasps the trident, whilst her left hand bears an olive branch and a shield, symbolising protection and peace.
The coin includes four state-of-the-art security features, one of which being accented tincture lines on the Union Jack on Britannia’s shield. Also, micro text provides both decoration and protection together with a surface animation which brings the background of waves to life. There is also a latent image which changes from a padlock to Britannia’s famous trident.
The obverse of the coin showcases the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, crafted by renowned artist Jody Clark. It also displays the face value of the coin, 2 pounds, in the surrounding legend.
