The Royal Mint
20 Britannias in gold.
Philip Nathan’s Britannia
The sculptor created her for a new bullion coin from The Royal Mint. Today’s gold Britannia bears his design as well.
She wears a Corinthian helmet with a high crest, while her hair and robes flow to the left.
The trident
She holds it with her arm outstretched. It stands for her connection with the sea.
The shield
It bears the Union Flag and stands for protection.
The olive branch
She holds it above the shield. It stands for peace.

Four features you can see in the light
Turn the coin in the light and you can check that it is genuine. According to The Royal Mint, this makes the Britannia one of the most visually secure bullion coins in the world.
The latent image
At the bottom left, below the robes, it alternates between a trident and a padlock depending on the viewing angle.
The micro-text
DECUS ET TUTAMEN, an ornament and a safeguard, runs around the figure. The words already appeared on the edge of English coins in the 17th century.
The waves
When the coin is turned, waves seem to move behind the figure. To create them, a picosecond laser makes indentations which, according to The Royal Mint, are 200 times narrower than a human hair.
The lines in the shield
Fine, smooth lines trace the light and dark tones of the flag.
From Hadrian to Charles III
around119
On Roman coins
Under Emperor Hadrian, Britannia appears on a coin for the first time: a woman on rocks, with a spear and a shield, and below her the word BRITANNIA.
1672
Back on English coins
She returns on England’s first official copper coins, the halfpenny and the farthing, under Charles II. Tradition has it that Frances Stuart, a lady of the court, sat as her model.
1987
The Britannia in gold
Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson approves a new 100-pound gold coin. It is named after Britannia and initially struck in 22-carat gold.
2013
In 24-carat gold
Since then, the gold Britannia has been struck in 24-carat gold.
2023
The King’s portrait
According to The Royal Mint, the 2023 Britannia is the world’s first bullion coin to bear the official portrait of King Charles III. The sculptor Martin Jennings called it his smallest work.
The Royal Mint in Wales
Since 1975, The Royal Mint has struck coins only in Llantrisant in South Wales. Queen Elizabeth II had opened the first phase of the site on 17 December 1968.
By its own account, it looks back on a history of more than 1,100 years.
Every year, an independent jury tests the weight and fineness of its coins at Goldsmiths’ Hall in London, during the Trial of the Pyx.
“Steadfast in the eye of the storm.”
This is how The Royal Mint describes its Britannia.
In fine gold.

The Britannia – A Symbol of Strength and Permanence
The Royal Mint has been striking this iconic coin series since 1987. Britannia herself? A figure deeply rooted in the British soul. Draped in flowing robes, she stands proudly on the coastal rocks, trident firmly in hand, the Union Jack shield held protectively before her. She embodies sea power, defence and the indomitable strength of a nation.
Philip Nathan's design from 1987 has lost none of its fascination. On the contrary: the fine line structures in the background and the characteristic milled coin edge lend each individual strike an unmistakable elegance. The warm, rich lustre of the 24-carat fine gold makes the relief shine with breathtaking attention to detail.
Technical Perfection in Compact Form
With a diameter of just 16.50 mm and a fine weight of 3.11 grams per coin, the 1/10 oz variant offers the perfect entry point into the world of gold coins. The entire bundle weighs in at an impressive 62.21 grams of pure gold – a considerable store of value in a convenient format.
