| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised balance scale occupies the centre of the field, its beam suspended from a spherical pivot at the top, with two shallow pans hanging at either end, symbolising the precision and integrity of the gold standard. Behind the scale, an elaborate geometric compass rose or astrolabe-inspired disc radiates diagonal and cardinal lines with finely hatched segments, evoking historic instruments of weights and measures. The inscription THE GOLD STANDARD arcs across the upper field, with the date 2023 beneath it flanking the pivot sphere. Along the lower periphery, the legend · 1/4 OZ FINE GOLD · 999.9 · confirms the bullion specification, with the engraver's initials DME appearing at lower right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Gold Standard" branding is a Royal Mint marketing series rather than a reference to any monetary policy — Britain abandoned the gold standard definitively in 1931 and has no institutional obligation tying this coin's gold content to currency backing. These are bullion issues produced under the Coinage Act 1971, with face value serving a legal tender formality that bears no relationship to melt value.
As the first bullion series to carry Charles III's effigy following his accession in September 2022, the 2023 dated issues mark the transition from Jody Clark's long-running Elizabeth II portrait to a new obverse by Martin Jennings.
