1 ounce silver Britannia 2023 (Charles III) Motif: the goddess Britannia Material: silver with a fineness of 999/1,000 Country of origin: Great Britain Investment objective: investment Delivery: comes in a coin bag ✔ The front of Britannia The front of this silver coin shows, as the name suggests, Britannia. Britannia used to be a goddess in ancient Rome and is now seen more as the personification of Great Britain and the British people. She is very easy to identify based on her attributes. She looks sideways at the high seas and wears a protective Corinthian helmet. Her left arm is stretched out wide. In her left hand is a trident, which she shows to demonstrate her power and to warn attackers. She takes her job of ensuring security in Great Britain very seriously. Her right arm is stretched back. With her right hand she holds a protective shield and an olive branch. This is to say that she wants peace and not war. ✔ A safe investment coin The Britannia has the reputation of being the oldest investment coin produced in Europe. It is also one of the safest investment coins. This is thanks to the many security features that the Britannia has. This means that counterfeiters are not even tempted to create a fake Britannia. If you take a look at the motif on the front, you will definitely notice a round circle that is shown at the bottom left. This is a hologram in which either a trident or a padlock can be seen. The motif changes depending on the angle. Both symbols are very powerful. The padlock naturally stands for security and the trident is one of the attributes of the Britannia and is also part of the coin motif. Also striking are the wave-like lines in the background, which are reminiscent of the waves of an ocean. The optical illusion was created with the help of micro-details and is also a security feature. A laser engraving in the form of the lettering "Decues et Tutamen", which was engraved around the motif, is also a security feature. In German, the saying means "decoration and protection". The various silver tones and patterns, which were created with the help of tincture lines, are also security features. ✔ The successor to Queen Elizabeth II. A portrait of King Charles III is engraved on the back of the Britannia, as the son of the British Queen Elizabeth II followed in her footsteps after the death of his mother. ✔ Information at a glance The manufacturer is The British Royal Mint.
