The British Gold Britannia Series was first introduced by The Royal Mint in 1987. For many years, Queen Elizabeth II was featured on the obverse of these coins. After her passing in September 2022, The Royal Mint began transitioning to King Charles III on the obverse. In 2023, this change took place, but not before the mint produced the final batches of Britannias with Queen Elizabeth II’s image. Right now, 2023 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coins are available in near-perfect condition at BullionMax.

Notably, the NGC has confirmed that these coins are among the last 500 in the 2023 Gold Britannia Series to feature Queen Elizabeth II’s image on the obverse. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-reigning British monarch, serving from February 6, 1952, until her passing on September 8, 2022.

The obverse of the 2023 British Gold Britannia shows a right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This final image of Elizabeth II shows her at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. It was designed in 2015 by Jody Clark and first appeared on Royal Mint coins in 2016.

On the reverse of the 2023 1 oz Gold Britannia Coins, there is an image of Britannia, the female personification of Britain. The name Britannia comes from the Ancient Roman term for the British Isles. Britannia is depicted as a symbol of Britain’s control over the seas and its ability to protect its homeland.
