The Royal Mint of Great Britain launched the Gold Britannia series in 1987, featuring a gorgeous female personification of the nation created by renowned British sculptor Philip Nathan. First appearing on the coinage of Great Britain in 1672, Britannia's image has evolved into a powerful symbol of strength and protection. In 2021, the classic 1987 design was augmented with an array of innovative security features, which serve to enhance the iconic beauty of the Britannia series.
- The 2022 Britannia coin is struck from 1 Troy oz. of .9999 fine gold.
- The coin measures 32.69 mm in diameter.
- The coin is minted with a stunning Brilliant Uncirculated finish.
- The coin's design includes four individual, anti-counterfeit security features.
Breathtaking Rendition of Britannia
Obverse: The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is centered on the obverse, surrounded by a guilloche patterned field containing the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II," "D.G. REG. F.D." and "100 POUNDS." The elegantly styled royal portrait was created by acclaimed artist Jody Clark, a Royal Mint sculptor/engraver since 2012.
Reverse: Britannia stands on the reverse as the guardian of Great Britain, while grasping a trident, olive branch and a shield decorated with the Union Jack symbol. Inscribed "BRITANNIA," "2022," "1 OZ" and "999.9 FINE GOLD." The counterfeit deterrent devices cleverly integrated into the design include: a stippled, light-refracting wave patterned background, a finely lined texture upon Britannia's shield, a latent badge that alternates between the images of a trident and a padlock, and an additional thin frame encircling Britannia that is inscribed repeatedly with the Latin phrase "DECUS ET TUTAMEN," which translates as "an ornament and a safeguard."
