1oz Silver Britannia Bullion Coin
£47.50
From the earliest days of Roman rule, newly conquered lands were given a female persona to foster unity and order. As Rome pushed its borders northward, its legions crossed the Channel and set foot in Britain. The figure of Britannia first appeared on Emperor Hadrian’s coins over two thousand years ago.
Reintroduced to British coinage in 1672 under Charles II, she has featured on every monarch’s coins since. Steadfast and reassuring, Britannia serves as a symbol of national pride in both crisis and celebration. Instantly recognisable around the globe, she inspires confidence in the excellence of British minting.
The Royal Mint is pleased to unveil the 2020 Britannia coin, showcasing Philip Nathan’s timeless design. Poised at the heart of the storm, she embodies unwavering resolve. Since debuting on the inaugural Britannia bullion issue in 1987, this portrait has been hailed as a modern masterpiece.
