| Reverse description | The reverse presents Emma Stibbon's dynamic interpretation of Britannia, depicted as a helmeted female figure standing facing right against a coastal seascape. She holds a long trident in her left hand and bears a round shield decorated with the Union Flag on her right arm, with wind-swept hair adding a sense of movement and vitality. Breaking ocean waves and rocky shoreline fill the lower field, while a lighthouse rises in the right background. The legend BRITANNIA 2026 arcs across the upper field, with 1/2 oz 999.9 FINE GOLD inscribed to the left, and the motto MAJESTY, JUSTICE AND PEACE along the lower margin. The engraver's monogram ESD appears discretely in the right field. |

| Additional information |
Charles III acceded to the throne in September 2022, making him the oldest person to become British monarch at 73. The Royal Mint's gold bullion programme under his effigy is still in its earliest years, and 2026 issues will carry only the third or fourth obverse portrait generation his reign will eventually see — the Mint typically commissions new effigies on a roughly decade-long cycle, though the compressed timeline of a late-starting reign may accelerate that.
