The obverse of the 2025 1 oz Gold Britannia displays King Charles III. Designed by Martin Jennings in late 2022, this left-profile portrait debuted in mid-2023 and shows the monarch without a crown.
On the reverse, Britannia appears in a design by Philip Nathan from 1987. The figure faces forward wearing a Corinthian helmet, holding a trident in her right hand and an olive branch resting on a Union Jack shield in her left. At her feet, a lion represents courage and strength.
Britannia’s imagery conveys the values of the nation: the trident symbolizes naval power, the shield represents protection, the helmet stands for wisdom and security, the lion embodies bravery, and the olive branch signifies peace.
These 2025 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coins come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins are packaged in protective plastic flips, sets of 10 coins are placed in acrylic tubes, and boxes of 100 coins include 10 tubes. Each coin features four security elements on the reverse: a wave-textured background, tincture lines, a latent security mark, and micro-engraved text.
