The iconic Britannia coin from the Royal Mint still displays the 1987 design by Philip Nathan but continues to incorporate cutting-edge advanced security features. The image displays Britannia holding a trident to symbolise the maritime strength of the kingdom. In her left hand, she carries a shield for protection, complemented by an olive branch representing peace. The obverse showcases Martin Jennings' exquisitely crafted low relief coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III.
The Britannia coin design seamlessly incorporates four security elements: a latent image transitioning from a padlock to trident, dynamic surface animation resembling waves, micro-text serving both decoration and protection purposes, and a shield displaying the Union flag and tincture lines.
