Minted in 99.99% pure gold, the Gold Britannia takes its name and inspiration from ‘ Britannia’, the classical female warrior figure which embodies Britain's strength and seafaring tradition.

The reverse of the Gold Britannia features a designed imagery of Britannia standing strong with shield, trident, and olive branch in hand. A latent image, surface animation, tincture lines, and micro text have been included into the design for added security.

The obverse of the gold coin portrays Queen Elizabeth II, in a design by the Royal Mint´s chief engraver Jody Clark. The obverse imagery also contains an intricate guilloche design.

Gold Britannia bullion coins have an official face value of £100 and are non-circulating legal tender in the UK.

The Royal Mint is fully owned by Her Majesty´s Treasury, and each year the Treasury attests to the authenticity and quality of all bullion coins that the Mint produces.
