Royal Mint, 2023 1/10oz Britannia .9995 Platinum BU Coin (King Charles III Effigy)

Description

For centuries, Britannia has symbolized the essence of the nation, embodying its evolving strengths and characteristics. Sculptor Philip Nathan’s interpretation of Britannia in 1987 introduced a new bullion coin that captured her naval connections and peaceful spirit through the trident and olive branch. This design has become a modern classic, renowned for its groundbreaking security features. The coin showcases surface animation, mimicking flowing waves when moved, and micro-text with the words ‘Decus et Tutamen’ (meaning ‘An ornament and a safeguard’) subtly integrated into the design. Additionally, a latent feature shifts between a trident and a padlock, emphasizing maritime strength and enhanced security. Notably, tincture lines highlight details like the Union flag on Britannia’s shield. These advanced features combine to create a visually stunning and highly secure Britannia coin, making it the most secure coin worldwide.
