Britannia first appeared on British precious metals during the unification of the crowns of England and Scotland. As the United Kingdom was formed, Britannia was selected to symbolize the strength and unity of the nation, appearing on coins issued by the Royal Mint after the crowns merged. Today, Britannia remains a prominent feature on the UK’s gold and silver bullion coins, and this 100 oz British Silver Britannia Bar continues that proud tradition.
The obverse of this 100 oz bar presents a newly designed image of Britannia, inspired by classical art. Depicted in right-profile relief, Britannia wears a grand Corinthian helmet and holds a trident in her left hand, symbolizing her control over the seas. In her right hand, she defends the realm with a shield bearing the British flag.
On the reverse side, the Royal Mint seal is prominently featured, accompanied by engravings indicating the bar’s weight, purity, and metal content. The lower portion of the design captures the waves of the sea, reflecting Britain’s rich maritime history.
