In 2023, the British Silver Britannia entered a new era of production. The 2023 release of Silver Britannias featured two waves of coin issues, with the earliest releases from the mint featuring the final bust of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In early 2023, the first King Charles III Silver Britannias began to appear. Right now, 2023 1 oz British Silver Britannia Tubes are available to purchase online from JM Bullion’s MintSealed program.

From the introduction of the British Silver Britannia until early 2023, the Royal Mint offered the coins with a bust of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. From 1997 to 2023, three different portraits of the Queen featured on the coins: Raphael Maklouf’s 1985 portrait, Ian Rank-Broadley’s 1998 portrait, and Jody Clark’s 2015 bust of Her Late Majesty.
In the obverse design of the 2023 British Silver Britannia, you will find the first-generation effigy of King Charles III. This design comes from Martin Jennings and follows in British coinage tradition. His Majesty is shown in left-profile relief, the opposite of Her Late Majesty, and he lacks a crown, another tradition for male monarchs.
For the reverse field of 2023 1 oz Silver Britannias, you will find the timeless effigy of Britannia. Designed in 1987 by Philip Nathan, the front-facing effigy of Britannia’s figure includes a trident in one hand and the Union Jack shield resting beneath the other.
