Silver Five Ounces 2025 Britannia, Proof, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

The obverse of the coin displays the first definitive portrait of King Charles III, which shows his bare (uncrowned) head facing left.

Below the neck truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials MJ (for Martin Jennings).

Around, the monarch's legend followed by the face value and date of issue: CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS · 2025 ·. Translated from Latin, the legend means: Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

Within a plain rim, the reverse design depicts Britannia, the female personification of Great Britain, standing, facing the viewer. She has a crested helmet with its visor lifted to reveal her face, and a billowing cloak. In her right hand, she holds a trident as a symbol of Britain's maritime power. In her left hand, an oval shield carrying the colours of the flag of Great Britain; the colours are represented by "heraldic hatching" - thin lines indicating the colour, with horizontal stripes for blue, vertical for red, no stripes for white.

In the background, sea waves and the rays of the rising sun. The artist's initials BMJ, for Bradley Morgan Johnson, are below left.

Around above, the inscription BRITANNIA. Around below left, the precious metal content: 5 OZ 999 FINE SILVER (five troy ounces of 99.9% silver). Centrally below, the date of issue 2025.
