People are probably wondering why there are two different 2023 Silver Britannia Coins, one with Queen Elizabeth II and one with King Charles III.
The Patriotic Mint explains why:
2023 will be the final year for 1-ounce Britannia Silver Coins featuring the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II before the Royal Mint transitions to King Charles III. Due to the timing of the Queen’s death, the 2023 series will have a limited mintage, making these coins extremely collectable. The Britannia is a stunning British bullion coin issued by The Royal Mint since 1997. Starting in the year 2013 and onward, the Silver Britannia has been produced with .999 fine silver (prior-to-2013 Britannia’s are .958 fine). The image of Britannia, the female personification of the Island of Great Britain, has appeared on UK coinage for almost 2,000 years.

My shipment of the 2023 Britannia Silver coins with King Charles III arrived the other day. I bought the version with Queen Elizabeth II previously.
