Britannia King Charles III 1/4oz Gold Coin 2024
The Britannia coin from the Royal Mint upholds the original 1987 design by Philip Nathan whilst incorporating state-of-the-art advanced security features. On the reverse, Britannia is depicted holding a trident, symbolising the maritime strength of the kingdom. In her left hand, she carries a shield signifying defence and protection, accompanied by an olive branch representing peace. The obverse features Martin Jennings' beautifully crafted low relief coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III.
The Britannia coin design seamlessly integrates four security elements: a latent image that transitions from a padlock to the iconic trident, dynamic surface animation resembling waves, micro-text for both decoration and protection, and a shield displaying the Union flag and tincture lines.
The 2024 Britannia King Charles III ¼ oz Gold Coin comprises ¼ troy ounce of fine gold with a purity of 999.9/1000 and a metric weight of 7.78 grams. With a diameter of 22.00mm and a denomination of 25 pounds sterling, the coin is available in various editions, including 1oz, ½ oz, and 1/10 oz fine gold versions; 1 kilo and 1oz fine silver editions; and 1oz and 1/10 oz fine platinum.
