The Goddess Britannia is the symbol of the British nation.

Britannia has taken many different guises; Queen of the Seas, Warrior Queen, Peacemaker and Defender of the realm. She has graced the coinage of every British monarch since Charles II and continues in tradition.

The 2015 Britannia 1 oz Gold Coin contains one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold (24 carat). Britannia is one of the world’s oldest coin icons and this classic design is recognised and respected across the world as a symbol of beauty, reliability and strength.
