Obverse
On the obverse of all new British Gold Britannia Coins is the image of the King Charles III.
The back of the Britannia 1/2oz gold coin shows the following labels: The name of the regent “Charles III DG” (Dei Gratia – Grace of God), “Rex, Fid, Def” (King Defender of the Faith) and the face value “25 Pounds”.
Reverse
The reverse features the internationally recognised original portrait of Britannia by Philip Nathan. Once used as a term to describe the British Isles and then used as a female personification of British people, Britannia is an imposing figure. She wears a Corinthian helmet in defence of the island. Her trident wields control over the seas of the English Channel, and her shield featuring the Union Jack is ready to hold back any invader.
