This release of the 2024 British Gold Britannia features the bust of King Charles III. Following his mother’s death, Prince Charles ascended to the throne as King Charles III, King of England. His portrait is now ready for use on British coins and makes its debut in this series.
The Royal Mint Gold Britannia bullion coin encapsulates a wealth of history within its artistic rendering. The Gold Britannia contains one troy ounce of .9999 pure gold. Guaranteed legal tender by the British government, the 1-ounce coin holds a face value of 100 pounds. The emblematic status of the Britannia dates back to 1797, when she appeared on every monarch-issued penny as a powerful symbol of British liberty and unity.
