Serving as a powerful symbol of dignity and unity, Britannia is the true personification of our nation. The Goddess who first made her appearance in Roman Britannia is as iconic today as she has always been. Since first appearing on British coinage in the late 1600s, Britannia has been reimagined countless amounts of times in some of the most recognisable coin designs. However, her feature on circulation coins was only truly revived during the reign of Charles II when the iconic figure debuted in 1672 on the Farthing – the then King hoped that the feature of Britannia would inspire maritime strength during a time when it was most under threat. The importance of the figure of Britannia to British Numismatic History is undeniable. Having featured on coins created under each British monarch, the figure of Britannia has continued to symbolise the strength and courage of a nation during times of adversity.
Now, in 2022, The Royal Mint is back with an all-new vibrant design of its flagship Britannia Coin, showcasing the figure with her renowned imagery including her shield, trident, and helmet.
This Incredible 2oz Silver Proof Coin features a reverse design that has been expertly crafted by renowned product designer, Dan Thorne.
Created using meticulous innovative digital design methods, this release is one of the most detailed variations of the Britannia Coin that has been created in recent times.
Featured on the obverse of this Coin is Jody Clark’s interpretation of the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
A must-have for Numismatic Collectors, we expect this Coin to sell out extremely quickly so be sure not to miss out on this Limited-Edition Release.
