Design gold Britannia coin
Britannia, designed by Philip Nathan, is depicted on the gold Britannia coins. Britannia has a long history with the United Kingdom and its coins. For more than 2,000 years, Britannia has been a symbol of the country of England, since the invasion from the Roman Empire.
Britannia was first used on coins of Roman Emperor Hadrian around AD 199 and her likeness was found on coins issued under the reign of Charles II in 1672. Since this re-introduction to the coin, she has never been removed from it.
The term "Britannia" (Latin for Britain) dates back to the time of the Roman occupation of large parts of Great Britain (c. 50 BC). In worship of the country's feminine personality, it was worshiped as a deity under the name of "Britannia". Since then, the symbolic, warlike female figure in armor has been synonymous with the country's patriotism. This designation has been used for centuries not only for ship and company names, but also for precious metal and commemorative coins.
Britannia remains a symbol of strength and progression. She has a reassuring familiar presence, who is always on guard on the shore despite the constant changes. Britannia is a national icon and the coins bearing her symbolize the heritage of British mints for investors around the world.
Gold Britannia Coin Security Features
To prevent counterfeiting of the gold Britannia coin, four security features have been added to the coin since 2021. These features are:
- Latent feature: A hologram effect where the padlock turns into a trident when viewed from a different angle.
- Surface animation: Micro details created by means of special laser engravings on the coin that give the visual effect that the waves are in motion.
- Micro-tekst: the inscription DECUS ET TUTAMEN, in English “an ornament and a safeguard”, around the Britannia effigy was created by means of special lasers.
- Tincture lines: A traditional art form in which colors and patterns are depicted on metal.
By adding these features, the Royal Mint guarantees that your coin is genuine. For coins that are purchased from private individuals, we always check whether the coin is genuine. With this, The Silver Mountain guarantees that you always buy authentic coins.
