Gold Britannia coins
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.
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.
