The Britannia bullion series from The Royal Mint was introduced in 1987. The coins are one of two annual bullion programs from the mint, alongside the long-running Gold Sovereign. The British Gold Britannia was the first in the series introduced, with several weights first issued in 1987. Right now, 2026 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2026 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coin is offered here in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The 1 oz gold coins are available individually in protective flips, by multiples of 10 coins in plastic tubes, and by multiples of 100 coins in boxes. These coins feature enhanced security elements on the reverse, with motion texture wave lines in the background, tincture lines on the Union Jack emblem, a latent security mark, and micro-text around Britannia.
Britannia’s appearance on British coins has evolved significantly over three centuries, from the baroque styling of the 1670s through neoclassical refinements in the 18th and 19th centuries to more modern interpretations. Her pose, clothing, and accompanying symbols have been regularly updated to reflect contemporary artistic styles while maintaining her core iconographic elements.
The obverse of 2026 British Gold Britannias comes with a portrait of King Charles III. This effigy of His Majesty is the first for British coins and was created in 2022 by Martin Jennines. The effigy shows Charles III in left-profile relief and is shown without a crown on his head.
On the reverse of 2026 1 oz Gold Britannia Coins, you will find the image of Britannia. Designed in 1987 by Philip Nathan, this modern vision of Britannia captures the female allegory standing on a plot of coastal land with a Union Jack shield, a trident in her right hand, an olive branch in her left hand, and a Corinthian helmet on her head.
