| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-length standing figure of Britannia is depicted facing left, attired in classical robes and a crested helmet, holding an upright trident in her right hand and a shield bearing the Union Flag in her left, set against a finely textured field. The design, executed by Philip Nathan, presents Britannia in the traditional allegorical manner long associated with British coinage. The legend BRITANNIA appears prominently in the field, with the date 2016 and the bullion specifications 1/4 oz, 999.9, and FINE GOLD inscribed within the design. The engraver's name NATHAN is positioned below the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "fifth portrait" designation refers to Jody Clark's effigy, adopted by the Royal Mint in 2015 — the first British monarch's portrait to be selected through an internal staff competition rather than by royal commission through an outside sculptor. Clark was 33 and a junior engraver at the time. His design broke a decades-long tradition of slightly aging the monarch with each successive portrait; Elizabeth II was 89 when the effigy was introduced, and the likeness reflects that directly.
The .9999 fineness and textured fields were part of the Mint's push into premium bullion that year, distinguishing this issue from the standard Britannia quarter-ounce in both purity and surface treatment.
