Description
The 2026 UK Britannia 1/10oz Gold Coin features the internationally recognised portrait of Britannia. The design was created by Philip Nathan and is exclusive to The Royal Mint. In recent years, the Britannia has also incorporated new security features to the traditional design, including: a laser engraved wave pattern and latent image marker, tincture lines, and a micro-text feature, making the coin much more difficult to duplicate.
The obverse of the coin bears the uncrowned portrait of King Charles III designed by sculptor Martin Jennings, along with the coin’s monetary denomination of 10 pounds.
