The obverse of these 2023 British Gold Britannias features a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 2015 by Jody Clark, this is the fifth and final effigy of Elizabeth II to appear on British coins. Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch of England, was crowned on June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey. Her coronation was the first to be televised, with over 27 million viewers in the UK.

The reverse side of the 2023 1 oz Gold Britannia Coins showcases Britannia. Designed by Philip Nathan in 1987, this image captures Britannia in full length, standing along the British coastline. She holds a trident in her right hand, an olive branch in her left, wears a Corinthian helmet, and has a Union Jack shield at her side.
