This 2023 KCIII 1st & 2nd Portrait Silver Britannia Bundle contains the crowned and uncrowned portrait effigies of King Charles III. The bundle includes the 2023 Coronation Britannia (crowned) and the 2023 Standard Britannia (uncrowned).
The coronation coin marks the first occasion of King Charles III being depicted on the Britannia coin with the crowned portrait design. In contrast, the 1 oz silver uncrowned Britannia coin marks King Charles III's first appearance on Britannias.
These coins are supplied in protective capsules, along with a storage pouch.
The Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla was an event that captivated the attention of people throughout the UK and around the globe. The ceremony took place on May 6th, 2023, at Westminster Abbey in London.
This Royal Mint bullion coin has special security features. These include a small latent image on the bottom-left. Acting as a hologram, it changes between a trident and a padlock, depending on the angle the coin is held.
After the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on 8th September 2022, Martin Jennings sculpted and designed the new King Charles III definitive coinage portrait.
Furthermore, following his initial portrayal of His Majesty in the UK definitive coinage, he was once again commissioned to engrave the crowned coinage portrait design to commemorate the coronation of KCIII.
Jennings was born in 1957. He graduated from the University of Oxford in 1979, where he studied English Literature and Language. Afterwards, Jennings undertook a course in Lettering (1979-80).
The Silver Britannia is a popular coin produced by the Royal Mint of the United Kingdom. The coin was first introduced in 1987 and is widely considered to be the UK's most popular Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt 1 oz silver coin. The face value of a 1 oz Silver Britannia is £2, although the coin's intrinsic value is significantly higher due to the value of the silver content. The coin's design features a depiction of Britannia, a female figure symbolising Britain.
Each coin in this 2-coin bundle features a unique obverse design.
Designed by Martin Jennings, each coin contains a portrait of King Charles III. The standard Britannia is shown with the uncrowned, or bare head portrait, whilst the Coronation Britannia depicts the King wearing the Tudor crown.
Each coin in this 2-coin bundle showcases the same reverse design.
Both coins boast the iconic design, featuring the classic 'standing Britannia' motif by renowned artist Philip Nathan. These coins also incorporate the cutting-edge security features, first introduced in 2021.
One such feature is the small latent image on the bottom-left of the coin, which acts as a hologram, seamlessly transitioning between a trident and a padlock depending on the angle at which the coin is held. Additionally, a micro-text border encircling Britannia bears the inscription "DECUS ET TUTAMEN", translating to “an ornament and a safeguard”.
