Obverse
The obverse of the 2026 1/2 oz Gold Britannia displays King Charles III. This design, crafted by Martin Jennings in 2022, represents the Kings first official appearance on British coins. It shows him in a left-facing profile without a crown, consistent with the current portrait tradition.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2026 British Gold Britannia, Britannia is shown as a proud emblem of Britain. Created by Philip Nathan in 1987, this design captures her standing on a coastal cliff, holding a trident in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. A shield decorated with the Union Jack rests nearby, and she wears a Corinthian-style helmet.
History
Britannias history on British coins began in 1672 during Charles IIs reign. She was originally presented in a baroque style with flowing robes, a plumed helmet, and classical drapery inspired by ancient Rome. In the 18th century, especially during George IIIs era, her depiction became more neoclassical, with simpler details and refined composition. Her helmet was redesigned with a cleaner look, her shield often bore the Union Jack, and the trident became a stronger visual symbol of Britains sea power.
