The female warrior Britannia protects Britain with her iconic trident and shield on this half-ounce gold coin. First used 2,000 years ago on precious metal coins, the personification of Britain returns to rally the country for celebration and protection, now captured by Royal Mint designer Philip Nathan.
Well-known by bullion collectors and investors around the world, the gold Britannia coin’s reverse side prominently features Britannia herself, with a patterned background echoing the seas that surround Great Britain. Circling this icon is “BRITANNIA”, “2022”, “1/2 oz”, “999.9” “Fine” and “Gold”.
The phrase “Decus et Tutamen”’ is repeated around Britannia. Originally this was implemented by King Charles II as a ring around the extreme edge of the coin to protect the coins from ‘clipping’. It is included here as a remnant of this era.
The obverse features Jody Clark’s effigy of Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the face value of the coin: 50 GBP.
