Obverse

The obverse design of the 2026 British Gold Britannia Coin presents King Charles III. Sculpted by Martin Jennings and introduced in 2022, the portrait depicts the monarch in left-profile without a crown.

Reverse

On the reverse, Britannia appears in a design by Philip Nathan, first used in 1987. She is shown standing on a rocky shoreline holding a trident in one hand and an olive branch in the other, with a Union Jack shield and wearing a Corinthian helmet.

History

Britannia is a long-standing icon of British identity, appearing in art, literature, and on coins as a symbol of national pride. Her popularity rose during the height of the British Empire, with Rule, Britannia! becoming a well-known patriotic song. She remains an important representation of British heritage today.
