The image of Britannia has symbolized Britain’s strength and stability since Roman times, when she first appeared on coins as a guardian of the seas. Reintroduced during the reign of Charles II in 1672, Britannia later evolved into the figure we recognize today: standing firm with shield and trident, a beacon of national identity and maritime power. Launched as a bullion series in 1987, the Britannia line remains a flagship offering from The Royal Mint, prized worldwide for its blend of classical design and advanced minting security.
