Obverse
On the obverse of the 2023 1 oz Silver Britannia, you’ll find the first-ever portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. This portrayal depicts King Charles III in left-profile relief without a crown.
Reverse
Turning to the reverse design of the 2023 British Silver Britannias, you’ll discover Philip Nathan’s elegant rendition of Britannia. The design features Britannia in a front-facing relief, holding a trident in her right hand, a Union Jack shield beneath her left hand, and a Corinthian helmet on her head.
History
The British Silver Britannia series, introduced by the Royal Mint in 1997, followed a decade after the introduction of gold coins in 1987. Initially, Silver Britannias featured alternating reverse designs of Britannia. It wasn’t until 2011 that the series settled on Philip Nathan’s 1987 depiction of Britannia, consistent with the gold coins.
