2023 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coin NGC MS69 (Last 500 Struck, Queen Elizabeth II)
Product Description
The British Gold Britannia Series, introduced by The Royal Mint in 1987, has long featured Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. After her death in September 2022, The Royal Mint transitioned to featuring King Charles III on the obverse. In 2023, this change was implemented, but not before the final batches of Britannias were struck with Queen Elizabeth IIs effigy. Right now, 2023 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coins are available in near-perfect condition at BGASC.

Obverse
The obverse of the 2023 British Gold Britannia displays a right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This final depiction shows her at age 89, wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. Designed by Jody Clark in 2015, this portrait first appeared on Royal Mint coins in 2016.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2023 1 oz Gold Britannia Coins, Britannia is depicted. Britannia is the female personification of Britain, a name originating from the Ancient Roman term for the British Isles. She symbolizes Britains naval strength and defense capabilities.
History
Importantly, the NGC has verified that these coins are among the last 500 in the 2023 Gold Britannia Series to feature Queen Elizabeth IIs effigy on the obverse. Queen Elizabeth II reigned from February 6, 1952, to September 8, 2022, making her the longest-reigning British monarch in history.
