1/2 oz (15.55 g) gold coin Britania, Great Britain 2023

The coin's reverse side still features the lady Britannia, but now has four new additional design elements for added security. These are a special effect background to mimic waves, additional lines on Britannia's shield, Latin text around an inner ring of the coin, and a new holographic spot which changes between a trident and padlock depending on the coin's angle.

The obverse of the 2023 Britannia still displays the fifth and most recent portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, first introduced in 2015. It was designed by the Royal Mint's own engraver, Jody Clark - the first time a Royal Mint employee has been selected.
