The Great Britain 1/4 oz Gold Britannia offers investors and collectors a fractional way to own one of the world’s most respected bullion coins. Struck in .9999 fine gold by the Royal Mint, each coin contains 1/4 troy ounce of pure gold and comes in either Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) or Proof condition, selected at random by year. Its size makes it a more accessible option while retaining the prestige and global recognition of the Britannia series.
History of the Britannia
TheBritannia coin series was first introduced in 1987, initially in gold, as the United Kingdom’s response to the rising popularity of modern bullion programs like the Krugerrand and Maple Leaf. Its reverse features Britannia, the female warrior who has symbolized British strength, naval power, and unity since Roman times. Over the decades, Britannia’s depiction has evolved—sometimes presented in traditional form with shield and trident, other times with modernized artistic variations—making each release distinct.
Obverse: Features the latest effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
Reverse: Showcases the timeless image of Britannia.
Fractional sizes, including the 1/4 oz Gold Britannia, were introduced to give investors flexible entry points while maintaining the series’ exceptional design and government-backed purity. Today, Britannias are recognized worldwide as a reliable and highly liquid form of physical gold.
The 1/4 oz Gold Britannia combines the heritage of one of Britain’s most enduring symbols with the accessibility of a fractional size. With Bullion Hunters, you can compare prices across trusted dealers to ensure you secure the best value on this historic and globally recognized coin.
