The modern British Britannia bullion coin series offers one of the most breathtaking depictions of Britannia to grace British currency. The female allegory known as Britannia first appeared on Roman coins issued in the province in the 1st Century AD and the British would eventually introduce the first Britannia design on national coinage in the 17th century. Today, 2025 1/10 oz British Platinum Britannia Coins are available at JM Bullion.

Britannia first appeared on British coinage in 1672, gracing the reverse of Charles II’s copper halfpennies and farthings. Inspired by Roman depictions of a female personification of Britain, John Roettier’s initial design featured Britannia seated on a rock, gazing across the sea with a shield and spear in hand. Over the 18th and 19th centuries, her imagery remained consistent but saw subtle refinements, including the introduction of an olive branch, alterations to her helmet and shield, and variations in her seated stance.

All 2025 1/10 oz British Platinum Britannia Coins come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These coins are packaged individually in plastic flips, by multiples of 25 coins in protective tubes, or by multiples of 500 coins in Monster Boxes. Each box holds 20 tubes.

His Majesty King Charles III is on the obverse of 2025 British Platinum Britannias. This effigy from Martin Jennings is the first of Charles III’s reign and shows the monarch in left-profile relief without a crown.

Britannia graces the reverse of 2025 1/10 oz Platinum Britannia Coins. The introduction of Philip Nathan’s iconic 1987 gold Britannia bullion coin showcased a more animated, windswept figure standing against a stormy sea, blending contemporary artistic expression with historical tradition. This side includes the enhanced security elements with the motion texture waves in the background, latent security image in the lower left, micro-text around Britannia, and tincture lines on the UK flag on Britannia’s shield.
