Reverse

The reverse side of the 2023 1/10 oz British Britannia Coin features the classic Britannia design by Philip Nathan. Britannia stands with her trident and Union Jack shield, adorned in a Corinthian helmet, looking resolute and strong. Inscriptions include BRITANNIA, 999.9 FINE GOLD, 1/10 OZ, and 2023.

History

British Gold Britannia Coins were first introduced in 1987, followed by the silver version in 1997. In 2013, The Royal Mint enhanced the coins’ purity to .9999 gold and .999 silver. Over the years, the obverse has featured four different designs: three depicting Queen Elizabeth II and now the first of King Charles III.
