History
In 1987, the Royal Mint introduced their Britannia Gold bullion coins program. They followed South Africa, Canada, China, and the United States as the fifth nation to recognize the value and importance of having a bullion-focused coin that contained the amounts of precious metal in Troy Ounce or fractional increments. That was what investors and collectors wanted to buy.
The One-Quarter Troy Ounce Gold Britannia was introduced that inaugural year, along with several other sizes. The Brittania Gold coins struck between 1987 and 2012 were struck in 22 carat gold (.9167), while the 2013 to present coins are now struck in 24 carat gold (.9999).
Due to the length of her reign, the coins struck between 1987 and 2023 bear the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. When the Queen passed, in September of 2022, the Royal Mint designed a new effigy of the new monarch.
Starting in 2024, a new effigy of King Charles III, is now impressed on all new British coins. While the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II faced to the right, the effigy of King Charles will face to the left, in keeping with tradition established when monarchs change.
Design
The obverse displays a portrait of King Charles III with the Latin inscription as follows “CHARLES III – D. – G. – REX – F. - D.” and “50 POUNDS.” The Latin inscription is translated to “CHARLES III, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, KING, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH.”
The reverse of this coin was designed by artist Philip Nathan, and it depicts an allegorical rendition of Britannia, standing tall against very strong winds. Britannia is looking to her right. She is wearing flowing robes and a Corinthian-style helmet. In her right hand is a trident and in her left is an olive branch as well as a large shield. Across the shield is a Union Jack symbol, as the British flag is often called.
This listing is for a Brilliant Uncirculated example of a 2024-dated One Quarter Troy Ounce Gold Britannia. All of these coins are dated 2024 and they all have a value of 25 Pounds.
