History!

BRITANNIA, the
female personification of
the British Isles, takes her name
from an ancient term for Great Britain and has been a popular figure since the 1st century, when she was first depicted on Roman coinage under the rule of Emperor Hadrian.

Illustrated as a goddess, Britannia resembles the Roman figure Boudica. Britannia first appeared on British coins in 1672, when she graced the farthing. She was a firm fixture on coins from
this point onwards, appearing on pennies issued under every monarch from 1797 until decimalization,
when she was chosen to appear on
the 50 pence coin until 2008.

〰️

Over the years, the image of
Britannia has altered slightly,
with her maritime links being emphasized by switching
her spear to a trident.
Britannia is seen as a symbol of
British unity, liberty and strength,
meaning she resurfaces during particularly challenging times.
Like Columbia in the U.S. and
Marianne in France, Britannia
becomes more prominent in times
of war or when national pride
is booming.

In 1987, Britannia’s image graced
the new Gold bullion coin minted by
the Royal Mint known as the
Gold Britannia.
These Gold coins have since grown
in popularity as an investment
and a collector’s piece.
Gold Britannias are available in sizes
as small as 1/20 oz and as large as
5 oz Gold coins.

In 1997, the Royal Mint expanded
this design to a Silver bullion coin known as the Silver Britannia.
Over time, both the Gold Britannia
and Silver Britannia have experienced changes in design and an increase
in metal purity, making them major players in the modern coin market.
