The Britannia Charles ½ oz Gold Coin 2023 is a beautiful addition to the series offering another fantastic investment opportunity for those pursuing both an exquisitely crafted and secure portfolio, the four advanced security features offering additional peace of mind.
The latest design on the Obverse of the Britannia bullion coin was created by sculptor Philip Nathan in 1987 for The Royal Mint. His striking design includes the original symbolism selected to identify with the values of Britain. The shield is for protection, an olive branch represents peace, and the trident is a link to her maritime history. Although the image of Britannia has been around for hundreds of years, The Royal Mint in Wales is the only facility permitted to strike Philip Nathan’s elegant masterpiece.
The reverse of the coin was designed by Martin Jennings with the 2023 coin featuring a portrait of King Charles III, the first image of His Majesty to be depicted on a coin.
The half-ounce gold coin is made of 999.9 fine gold with a diameter of 27mm and a metric weight of 15.55g or half a troy ounce. It has a denomination of £50.
The Britannia Bullion Range includes gold coins in weights of 1oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz and 1/10 oz with the silver coins available in 1kg and 1oz. There are also platinum coins in 1oz and 1/10oz.
This exceptional coin has many features which appeal to both collectors and investors due to its rich historical significance and impeccable craftsmanship.
