The Britannia bullion coin series was first launched by The Royal Mint in 1987. It stands as one of two recurring bullion programs produced by the mint each year, alongside the iconic Gold Sovereign. The series debuted with the Gold Britannia, which was issued in multiple weights in its inaugural year. Today, 2026 1 oz British Gold Britannia Tubes are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Britannia became a powerful symbol of British imperial identity, appearing not only on coins but in art, literature, and popular culture as the personification of the nation. The figure gained particular prominence during the height of the British Empire, with “Rule, Britannia!” becoming an unofficial national anthem, and continues to represent British heritage and values in modern times, remaining on various commemorative coins and cultural references.
All 2026 1 oz British Gold Britannia Tubes are available in acrylic tubes. Each tube holds a total of 10 coins, with a total of 10 Troy ounces of 24-karat gold. The reverse of the coin comes with enhanced security elements that include motion texture wave lines in the background, latent security element, tincture lines on the Union Jack emblem, and micro-text engraving around Britannia.
On the obverse of the 2026 British Gold Britannia, you will see a portrait of King Charles III. This official effigy of the monarch marks his first appearance on British coinage and was introduced in 2022. Created by Martin Jennings, the portrait features King Charles III in left-profile relief without a crown.
The reverse design on the 2026 1 oz Gold Britannia Coin presents a depiction of Britannia. This artwork was created by Philip Nathan in 1987 and offers a modern representation of the historic figure. Britannia is portrayed standing on a coastal outcrop, holding a trident in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. She also carries a Union Jack shield and wears a Corinthian helmet.
