The British Gold Britannia Coin Series has been available from The Royal Mint since 1987. The concept of personifying a nation as a female figure has its origins in ancient Rome, where such allegorical representations were common. Britannia, as a personification of Britain, likely draws inspiration from this tradition. Today, 2021 1/4 oz Proof British Gold Britannia Coins are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Britannia is typically depicted in a powerful and regal stance, often holding a trident, shield, or spear, symbolizing her strength and prowess. This pose has become iconic in British iconography and has been depicted in various forms of art and media over the centuries. The common depiction on British Britannias is Philip Nathan’s 1987 design, though proof coins such as these often feature new depictions each year.
All 2021 1/4 oz Proof British Gold Britannia Coins are available here with a protective capsule. The coin and capsule are housed in wooden presentation box with a themed Royal Mint outer shipper. The box includes a Certificate of Authenticity from The Royal Mint. Proof coins have frosted design with mirrored fields.
On the obverse of 2021 Proof British Gold Britannias is a depiction of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen is shown here in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem. This design was created as the fifth-generation effigy of Her Majesty in 2015 and shows the Queen at the age of 89.
The reverse side of 2021 1/4 oz Proof Gold Britannia Coins comes with a unique design from P.J. Lynch. This design shows Britannia seated as the waves crash on the rocks around her. Wearing her Corinthian helmet, she wields both her Union Jack shield and Trident as she extends her right hand around the mighty lion seated at her side.
