History of Britannia

Today, the Britannia is the UK's most popular 1 oz bullion coin, manufactured by The Royal Mint since 1987 in gold and since 1997 in silver. For more information on UK Britannia bullion coins, you can read our blog, which details the history of the Britannia since its adoption.

Britannia King Charles III Design

After the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on 8th September 2022, Martin Jennings sculpted and designed the new King Charles III definitive coinage uncrowned portrait. This portrait first appeared on Britannia coins for the second Britannia release of 2023.

However, for the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, the talented engraver designed the crowned portrait, which appeared on another popular UK bullion coin - The 2023 Coronation sovereign.
