The Origins of Britannia: The allegorical figure of Britannia can trace her origins back to Roman times when the province of Britannia was personified as a goddess. This concept of a female personification of the island of Britain continued to evolve over the centuries.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, Britannia began to assume her iconic image, often depicted as a powerful and formidable woman donning a Corinthian helmet, a shield, and a trident. These symbols served as a representation of Britain’s naval strength and unwavering power.
Obverse:
The obverse of the 2025 1/4 oz Gold Britannia coin features a new portrayal of King Charles III. Sculpted without a crown on his head, this left-profile relief of His Majesty stands in contrast to the orientation of his predecessor, the Late Queen Elizabeth II, symbolizing a new era of leadership.
Reverse:
Turning to the reverse of these splendid coins, you’ll encounter Britannia herself in a design by Philip Nathan, paying homage to her timeless legacy. Britannia stands tall, donning her Corinthian helmet, while her right hand clutches a trident, and her left delicately holds an olive branch, resting upon the Union Jack shield.
