What security features does it have? Modern issues carry a latent trident-to-padlock image, “DECUS ET TUTAMEN” micro-text, radial-wave surface animation, and tincture lines on the shield — among the most secure bullion coins made.

Who designed it? Philip Nathan’s standing Britannia has anchored the reverse since 1987.
Is it legal tender? Yes — £100 face value in the United Kingdom, though its gold content is worth far more.
Is it authentic? Yes — sourced from Royal Mint–approved distributors with an unbroken chain of custody.
