Britannia King Charles III 1oz Silver Coin 2024 margin scheme
For more than 1,100 years, The British Royal Mint has combined tradition and innovation to create beautiful, secure and trusted coins. In 2024, Britannia continues to lead the way in defining security in the bullion market. Britannia coins are known for their intricate and symbolic depiction of Britannia, the female personification of Britain, as a warrior figure.
Philip Nathan’s 1987 interpretation of Britannia is displayed on the reverse depicting Britannia with her hair and robes flowing in the wind as she holds a trident in one hand and a shield and olive branch in the other. The Britannia King Charles III 1oz Silver Coin 2024 includes four pioneering advanced security measures making it one of the most visually secure coins in the world. These include a latent image that undergoes a transformation, shifting from a padlock to Britannia's iconic trident. The background waves come to life through surface animation, adding a dynamic visual element. Britannia's shield proudly displays the Union flag and includes meticulous tincture lines. Meanwhile, micro-text that borders the design serves a dual purpose, contributing to the coin's aesthetic appeal and adding to its security features. It reads ‘DECUS ET TUTAMEN’, which translates to ‘An ornament and a safeguard’. The name of the coin, its weight and purity of the silver is written in the legend.
Martin Jennings' low relief sculpture of His Majesty King Charles III is displayed on the obverse with the inscription ‘CHARLES III ᐧ D ᐧ G ᐧ REX ᐧ F ᐧ D ᐧ 2 POUNDS ᐧ’ surrounding the portrait.
The coin contains 1 troy ounce of fine silver with a purity of 999/1000. This equates to a metric weight of 31.10 grams. It has a diameter of 38.6 mm and a thickness of 3.00 mm. The face value of the coin is 2 pounds Sterling.
