The figure of Britannia as a symbolic embodiment of Britain dates back to Roman antiquity, when the British Isles became part of the Roman Empire in the first century CE. The Romans portrayed her as a warrior woman, adorned with a helmet and wielding a shield and spear, first appearing on coins minted under Emperor Hadrian around 119 CE. Now, 1 oz Antique Finish Britannia Silver Statues are available online from JM Bullion.
In the design of the 1 oz Antique Finish Britannia Silver Statue, you’ll find the image of the mighty female allegory. The statue captures Britannia in a wind-swept dress while wearing a Corinthian helmet on her head. Her right hand clutches a large trident, while her left hand holds an olive branch and rests on a shield with the Union Jack emblem.
Britannia’s iconography underwent notable changes throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. After the monarchy was restored in 1660, she became a regular fixture on British coinage and medals, particularly with the introduction of copper farthings and halfpennies under Charles II starting in 1672. Her classical features were gradually embellished—Neptune’s trident was added to underscore naval prowess, and a lion was frequently included as a nod to British bravery and strength. By the Georgian period, Britannia had shifted from a representation of conquest to a more confident and commanding imperial figure.
These 1 oz Antique Finish Britannia Silver Statues are available from Gold Spartan in a standard shipping box with a Certificate of Authenticity from the producer included. Each statue has an antique polish throughout and comes with laser-engraved notations of its weight, purity, and unique serial number. These pieces are hand-poured, resulting in a finished product with slight variations from one statue to the next. As such, no two statues are exactly alike.
