2025 King Charles III Silver Britannia 1oz Coin

2025 King Charles III Silver Britannia

This is the third issue of the 1oz Silver Britannia featuring the new portrait of King Charles III on its obverse, as depicted by designer Martin Jennings. This succeeds the 2024 version and the recent 2023 Coronation version which included the King with a Coronation crown. Prices for this coin are lower than those of the limited issue Coronation version, so are ideal for investors seeking value.

This is a brand-new silver bullion coin from The Royal Mint. The minimum order quantity is 25 coins, with multiples of 25 coming in Royal Mint tubes, and quantities of 500 packaged into monster boxes, consisting of 20 tubes. These boxes provide an excellent storage solution for stacking larger investments of silver coins.

Silver purity is 999.0 fineness, with each coin containing 1 Troy oz of silver. Like previous silver Britannias, this new 2024 version benefits from a £2 face value, qualifying the coin as legal tender. All UK legal tender coins are Capital Gains tax-free for UK residents, deeming any profits made upon sale as tax-free.

Britannia reverse

We expect The Royal Mint to stick with the same design of Britannia as the previous year on the reverse of the coin. Despite several designs being featured during the past two decades, the current standing Britannia, by artist Philip Nathan, harps back to one of the original depictions of Britannia. The female warrior dressed in flowing garments, holding aloft a trident and shield, also presents an olive branch. The design is said to be the embodiment of the British Isles itself. The main image sits nicely on a radial design, including both for aesthetics and anti-forgery measures. Below the image is engraved the artist name ‘NATHAN’. Details around the bold edging confirm the name of the coin, year of issuance, weight, purity and metal.

Britannia obverse

The biggest change for this Britannia version is the new monarch adorning its front. This brand new portrait of King Charles has been created by designer Martin Jennings.

Our expert opinion

Once again, the Britannia silver 1oz coin will be our best-selling 1oz silver bullion coin, and for good reason. The mass-produced bullion finish coin grants a low entry point into the market for those starting, but attractive quantity price discounts allow great value for the more serious investor. Its tax-free nature appeals to those who anticipate big price increases in silver and want to be efficient with their profits.

History of Britannia on British Coins

Britannia has featured on British coins since the Roman era, with Emperor Hadrian commissioning a coin with a female emblem, labelled as Britannia. Once the Romans left the UK, Britannia never featured on British coins until the reign of Charles II in 1672. Happily, Britannia has been a permanent feature on British coins, which means that 2022 was the 350^th anniversary of the reappearance of Britannia coins.
