Obverse

On the obverse of the 2024 Proof British Silver Britannia Coin , King Charles III takes center stage in a left-profile relief without his crown. This design, crafted in 2022 by Martin Jennings, marks The Royal Mint’s inaugural portrait of the King.

Reverse

Turning to the reverse, an image of Britannia in left-profile relief graces the 2024 5 oz Proof Silver Britannia Coin. This modern portrayal positions Britannia as a symbol of Britain’s historic naval strength. Adorned in her traditional Corinthian helmet, Britannia faces an oncoming wave, seamlessly connecting her to the sea.

History

The image of Britannia underwent further refinement during the Victorian era. In the 19th century, artists like William Wyon played a significant role in shaping the representation of Britannia on coins. The design often featured a more regal and imposing Britannia, emphasizing her role as a symbol of British strength and maritime power.
