Tamlyn's design keeps Britannia's familiar shield, Corinthian helmet and olive branch, but introduces a distinctive radial sunburst background behind her — a modern security feature as much as an artistic one — alongside a special trident mint mark incorporating the number \"30\" to mark the anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the 22 carat gold used across the range's first 26 years, this coin is struck in 999.9 fine gold (24 carat), reflecting the standard adopted by The Royal Mint from 2013 onward.
