Introduced by The Royal Mint in 1987, British Gold Britannias are a key part of modern British gold bullion, symbolizing the nations rich heritage. Since its inception, this series has featured Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. Following her passing in September 2022, The Royal Mint issued one final coin with her portrait before transitioning to King Charles III. Now, certified 2023 British Britannia 1/10 oz Gold Coins are available online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
For more than three decades, The Royal Mint has depicted Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse of Britannia bullion coins. Much like many British citizens who have known only Elizabeth II as their monarch, the Britannia Series has consistently showcased her portrait. Following her passing, the 2023 series began with her image on the obverse before moving to King Charles III.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2023 Britannia 1/10 oz Gold Coins features the final portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown in right-profile relief at the age of 89. This design, created by Jody Clark in 2015, is the fifth effigy of the Queen to grace British coins. Inscriptions read 10 POUNDS, ELIZABETH II, and D.G. REG. F.D.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 2023 British Britannia Gold Coin features a depiction of Britannia. This full-length figure shows Britannia wearing a Corinthian helmet, holding a trident in her extended right hand, and an olive branch in her left hand. Philip Nathan designed this classic image in 1987 for The Royal Mint. The inscriptions here read BRITANNIA, 2023, 1/10 OZ, and 999.9 FINE GOLD.
