Lady Britannia has been a powerful emblem of Britain’s identity since her first appearance on coins in AD 119. Revived on British coinage by Charles II in 1672, she remains a symbol of resilience, maritime heritage, and wisdom. The modern design by Philip Nathan, introduced in 1987, depicts Britannia standing firm against the wind with her trident and shield—an image that continues to define the Britannia series today.
