Obverse

On the obverse of the 2023 British Gold Britannias, you will find Jody Clarks fifth-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. She is shown in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem. This is the final effigy of Elizabeth II on British coins.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2023 1/4 oz Gold Britannia Coins features Britannia, the national symbol of Britain. Britannia has represented the British Isles since Roman times in the 1st century AD. The modern design depicts her in a coastal setting, holding a trident, wearing a Corinthian helmet, and carrying an olive branch.

History

Queen Elizabeth IIs reign, from 1952 to 2022, was the longest in British history. She was the Head of the Commonwealth, a group of 56 independent countries, and played a crucial role in maintaining unity and fostering cooperation among these nations.
