A Rich Legacy of British Coinage
The Britannia has long stood as a symbol of strength, protection, and unity across Britain’s history. First appearing on Roman coins nearly 2,000 years ago, Britannia became a defining figure in British numismatics when she was revived on copper coinage in 1672 under Charles II. Her enduring image — helmeted, poised, and holding her trident and shield — has since embodied the spirit of the nation.
In 1987, the Royal Mint reintroduced Britannia in a new form: the Gold Britannia bullion coin, marking a modern era for British precious metals. Originally struck in .917 fine gold (22 karat), the series evolved to .9999 fine gold (24 karat) in 2013, reinforcing the Royal Mint’s commitment to purity and global standards. Over the decades, the Gold Britannia has become one of the world’s most respected bullion coins, admired for its design elegance and its advanced minting innovations.
Modern Craftsmanship Meets Historic Symbolism
The 2026 Gold Britannia continues this tradition of excellence, featuring His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse and the enduring image of Britannia on the reverse — a visual testament to the monarchy’s legacy and Britain’s unwavering spirit.
