First appearing on coins in AD 119 during Emperor Hadrian’s reign, Lady Britannia has been a symbol of British pride, strength, and naval heritage for centuries. Revived on coinage by Charles II in 1672, she has remained a central figure of UK currency.
Philip Nathan’s 1987 design—depicting Britannia standing resolute with a shield and trident—has become one of the most recognizable bullion coin motifs worldwide and continues to define the Britannia series today.
Since their introduction in 1987, Britannia Gold Coins have earned a reputation for reliability, artistry, and historical significance. Produced by the Royal Mint, they are among the most respected bullion coins globally.
Available in 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce sizes, Britannia gold coins offer flexibility to suit different investment strategies. In the UK, they benefit from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and VAT exemptions, enhancing their appeal for investors.
