For 2023 for the third time ever, the Royal Mint released a Limited Issue Britannia £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid fine .999 Silver and weighing two ounces of pure Silver.
The reverse designed by Jonathan Olliffe features Britannia driving a sea chariot pulled by horses as aquatic and serpent-inspired creatures with traditional equine figures while the obverse features the First Portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
