Description
Description
- Princess Diana portrait in vivid, impasto-style colour against a Union Flag background
- 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver, dated 2023 and bearing a £2 denomination
- Brilliant Uncirculated base coin with private colour enhancement *
- Enhanced edition limited to 100 pieces worldwide
- Acrylic display case, themed packaging and Certificate of Authenticity included
Diana’s smiling portrait takes centre stage against sweeping red, white and blue brushstrokes. The painterly treatment catches the movement of her hair and the folds of her pale blouse, while the Union Flag provides a bold backdrop. A narrow silver border frames the colour, giving this Elegance in Art edition the presence of a miniature portrait.
The 2023-dated 1oz .999 silver coin combines a crowned Charles III obverse with a privately enhanced Diana reverse. The edition of 100 applies specifically to this colour treatment, not the production of the underlying coin. Presented in an acrylic display case with themed packaging and a Certificate of Authenticity, this is a distinctive interpretation of Diana in silver. Take a closer look at her Elegance in Art portrait at FORTYMILLION.

* Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) means a coin has never been used as everyday currency and retains its original, bright mint luster and shine straight from the production process.
Key Characteristics of BU Coins
No Circulation Wear: The coin has zero signs of wear, friction, or handling from being passed around in commerce.
Original Luster: It displays a bright, flashing "mint bloom" or shine across its surfaces.
Not Flawless: "Uncirculated" describes the absence of wear, not necessarily total perfection. A BU coin can still have minor contact marks ("bag marks") or light scuffs from how the coins tumbled together at the mint or were packaged.
Grading Equivalency: In formal numismatics, BU is often used as a general descriptive term for ungraded coins that would roughly fall into the Mint State (MS-60 to MS-70) range on the Sheldon grading scale.
The BU description refers to the underlying coin. The Diana colour treatment is a separate private enhancement, not a numerical third-party grade.
Q. Is this an official Royal Mint Diana design?
A. No. The Diana portrait is a private colour enhancement applied in Germany, independently of The Royal Mint. It is not an official Royal Mint Diana release.
Q. What does the limit of 100 refer to?
A. It refers to this enhanced Diana Elegance in Art edition, not the total mintage of the underlying British coin.
Q. Which side shows Diana?
A. Diana appears on the colour-enhanced reverse. The obverse shows the crowned portrait of King Charles III.
Q. How much silver does the coin contain?
A. It weighs 1 troy ounce, approximately 31.1 grams, and is made from .999 fine silver.
Q. What is meant by impasto-style colour?
A. The design uses the appearance of bold, layered paint strokes to give Diana’s portrait a painterly sense of depth. This wording describes its visual style, not a verified relief measurement.
Q. What is supplied with the coin?
A. An acrylic display case, themed outer packaging and a Certificate of Authenticity accompany the coin.
