Description
The First Britannia Gold Coin To Feature King Charles III The Britannia 2023 gold coin featuring the very first (uncrowned) King Charles III portrait has a very limited production run. Britannia represents an enduring wealth protection asset. The weight and strength of the coins are verified at the centuries-old annual Trial of the Pyx. Britannia coins are CGT-exempt in the United Kingdom and VAT-free in the UK and European Community as a UK currency. Sculptor Philip Nathan, the designer of the first Britannia bullion in 1987, envisaged her as a classic and evolving icon. In this classic design, she stands firm against a powerful gale which whips around her shield, Corinthian helmet and olive branch. The 2023 design also features a speckled radial sunburst at her back.
