A latent picture of a trident is evident in the lower left-hand corner of the coin design, below Britannia’s gown, to commemorate her naval past. As the observer shifts their gaze, the trident transforms into a padlock, emphasising the coin’s security.

Security feature on Britannia

The coin’s backdrop features surface animation to mimic the movement of waves and tincture lines. To help strengthen security and provide definition to the flag pattern, carefully highlight fine elements such as the Union flag on Britannia’s shield.

Security features on Britannia

These new security elements have been introduced to both embellish and protect the coin, as stated by the micro-text that borders the design – ‘DECUS ET TUTAMEN’, which translates as ‘An ornament and a protection’.

Obverse

The face of King Charles III appears on the obverse of the 2024 Britannia. The uncrowned portrait of King Charles III on the obverse side of the 2024 Britannia coin was designed by Martin Jennings.

In addition, a bird symbol is placed near to King Charles III’s ear to represent his love of the environment and nature.

Advanced Security Features

Since 2021, the Britannia coin has included four revolutionary security features.

These features not only exemplify advanced minting technology but also signify the importance of security in modern coinage

  • Laser engraved wave pattern on the background
  • Micro text on the inner rim
  • Tincture lines on Britannia’s shield
  • Changing padlock/trident hologram

These additional security characteristics make the Britannia much more difficult to copy, making it one of the world’s most visually secure coins.

Furthermore, the coin’s value is influenced by the fluctuations in the price of the metal it is made from, typically silver or gold. As a result, it serves as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, making it a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty. This aspect is particularly appealing to investors who are cautious about volatile stock markets or low-interest rates on traditional savings.

The investment potential combined with the new security features makes the 2024 Britannia coin a unique and valuable asset. Its tax-exempt status in the UK not only enhances its appeal but also contributes to its long-term value retention, making it a sought-after item for both coin enthusiasts and savvy investors alike.
