The 1 oz Gold Britannia has been a cornerstone of the gold bullion market since its introduction in 1987. With its iconic design, 24-karat purity (post-2013), and global recognition, this coin offers both beauty and investment value. Earlier editions feature 22-karat gold (.9167 purity), while coins minted from 2013 onwards are struck in .9999 fine gold, giving later issues a slight edge in purity for investors.
Reverse: Features the legendary figure of Lady Britannia, a symbol of Britain since Roman times, depicted with trident, shield, and olive branch. Designs vary by year, including Philip Nathan’s standing Britannia, the seated Britannia of 2005, and the helmeted Britannia of 2003.
Obverse: Shows the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the Latin inscription ELIZABETH II D G REG FID DEF (“By the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith”).
