Since 1987, its first year of issue, the Gold Britannia has been acclaimed as a modern masterpiece and is recognized across the world as a symbol of beauty, reliability and strength.

The 2019 edition features Philip Nathan’s classic design. Britannia stands firm against a powerful gale which whips around her shield, Corinthian helmet and olive branch. The speckled radial sunburst at her back contains anti-counterfeiting technology. She is surrounded by the words BRITANNIA 2019, 1 OZ, and 999.9 FINE GOLD.

The obverse features the fifth-generation design of Queen Elizabeth II to feature on British coinage. This portrait by Jody Clark depicts Her Majesty wearing the Royal Diadem crown. Following her name, ELIZABETH II, is the inscription D.G. REG. F.D. (for Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Defensor — Latin for By the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith), along with the face value of 100 POUNDS.

Since 2013, Britannia gold coins contain 1 oz of 999.9 fine gold (24 carat). With the Royal Mint you can rely on more than 1000 years of experience, striking coins for the United Kingdom.

Instantly recognizable all over the world, Britannia resonates with international investors and represents an enduring Bullion investment. The 2019 Gold Britannia coin is a smart addition to any investment portfolio.
