2018 Great Britain 1 oz Gold Britannia Oriental Border Coin .9999 Fine BU

Britannia has been one of the seminal and most easily recognized symbols of the British people since the Roman Empire ruled the British Isles. After the Roman legions eventually conquered Britain in the early 1st century, this new province of Rome came to be known as Britannia. The classic Britannia coin series was introduced by Britain’s Royal Mint in 1997 and ever since, it has featured the regal image of the beautiful Britannia - the female personification of Great Britain. Today, the Britannia appears on the official bullion coin of Britain in both gold and silver releases.

For this special, limited-edition release by the Royal Mint, the 2018 1 oz. Gold British Britannia Coin features an intricate oriental border pattern on the coin’s reverse side. This design stems from the British Trade Dollar used in the Far East during the latter half of the 19th century.

The obverse depicts the right facing profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty appears on the obverse of all British coinage and has since been the standard ever since she ascended the throne in 1952. This is the latest design of the Queen’s figure, created by Jody Clark in 2015. The reverse features the image of Britannia. On this side of the coin, you’ll find an engraving of the weight, purity, and metal content of the coin near Britannia’s trident, while the word “Britannia” is featured vertically along the shaft of the trident.
