Britannia has long featured on British coins and has evolved through the ages to reflect the nation she represents. In 1987, a stunning incarnation of Britannia was created by the sculptor Philip Nathan for a new bullion coin. His beautifully bold Britannia is presented with carefully chosen symbols to reflect the nation’s values – a shield for protection, an olive branch for peace and a trident for her maritime links. The internationally recognised design is highly regarded, and only The Royal Mint is able to strike genuine Britannia coins featuring Philip Nathan’s interpretation of this timeless icon. The 2024 Britannia bullion coin redefines security in the bullion market, leading the way as the most visually secure bullion coin in the world. Philip Nathan’s award-winning Britannia design of 1987 has four advanced features, enhancing this timeless design and providing investors with the perfect balance between beauty and security. The new features are available on all fine gold and silver editions of the coin.
• A latent image changes from a padlock to Britannia’s famous trident
• Surface animation brings the background of waves to life
• The micro-text provides both decoration and protection
• Britannia’s shield bears the Union flag, which is accented with tincture lines

Compared to similar size rounds these are a level above. For a small coin the detail and quality is perfect. I would recommend everyone have a few tubes of these on hand (16 coins per tube).
