Beautiful Homage to the Spirit of Great Britain
Obverse: A portrait of His Majesty King Charles III is centered on the obverse, contrasted against a delicate guilloche textured field. Inscribed “CHARLES III,” “D.G. REX. F.D.” and “2 POUNDS.” The left-facing rendition of the monarch received the personal approval of the King. This first definitive coinage portrait of His Majesty was created by acclaimed British sculptor Martin Jennings in 2022.
Reverse: On the reverse, Lady Britannia stands as the embodiment of the nation’s perseverance in a fierce wind while clutching a patriotic shield, an olive branch, and a trident. This interpretation of Britannia, which originally appeared on the launch of the Gold Britannia series in 1987, was designed by renowned British sculptor Philip Nathan. Inscriptions include “BRITANNIA,” “2024,” “1 OZ” and “999 FINE SILVER.” Four individual anti-counterfeit devices enhance the splendor and security of the coin: a finely etched lined texture upon Britannia’s shield, a circular inset bearing an image that cleverly changes between a trident and a padlock with the coin’s movement, a light-refracting stippled background which is surface animated to mimic the undulation of waves, and a tiny frame surrounding Britannia that contains the repeating inscription “DECUS ET TUTAMEN,” a Latin phrase which means “an ornament and a safeguard.”
