Who Engraved the Crowned Coinage Portrait of Charles III?

After the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on 8th September 2022, Martin Jennings sculpted and designed the new King Charles III definitive coinage portrait.

Furthermore, following his initial portrayal of His Majesty in the UK definitive coinage, he was once again commissioned to engrave the crowned coinage portrait design to commemorate the coronation of KCIII.

Who Is Martin Jennings?

Jennings was born in 1957. He graduated from the University of Oxford in 1979, where he studied English Literature and Language. Afterwards, Jennings undertook a course in Lettering (1979-80).

Silver Britannias

The Silver Britannia is a popular coin produced by the Royal Mint of the United Kingdom. The coin was first introduced in 1987 and is widely considered to be the UK's most popular Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt 1 oz silver coin. The face value of a 1 oz Silver Britannia is £2, although the coin's intrinsic value is significantly higher due to the value of the silver content. The coin's design features a depiction of Britannia, a female figure symbolising Britain.

The obverse features the first crowned coinage portrait of King Charles III, facing left, engraved by Martin Jennings. This coin bears the following inscription:

CHARLES · III · D · G · REX · F · D · 2 POUNDS · 2023 · 

The reverse of the coin shows the iconic 'standing Britannia' image by Philip Nathan. 

BRITANNIA 2023 1oz 999 FINE SILVER

A small micro-text border can be seen around Britannia. It says "DECUS ET TUTAMEN", which translates to “an ornament and a safeguard". 

The field now features surface animation - micro-waves which create lines, showing a pattern in the background. Tincture lines have also been added to show colours and patterns on the metal.
