The iconic Britannia, Britain’s timeless symbol of strength and sovereignty, is magnificently rendered in this premium gold offering from The Royal Mint. First established during the reign of King Charles II, this enduring emblem continues to represent the highest standards of British numismatic excellence.
This substantial 20 gram .9999 fine gold bar features Jody Clark’s acclaimed contemporary depiction of Britannia. The striking design presents her in full warrior regalia – wearing a Corinthian helmet while powerfully grasping both a trident and a Union Flag-emblazoned shield, symbolizing Britain’s protective might and national pride.
The Royal Mint has implemented cutting-edge security features:
Latent image: to switch between a padlock and a trident when the bar is rotated
Surface animation: when the bar is moved, it creates a wave motion at the back of Britannia
Micro-text authentication: the text around the edge of Britannia’s shield, spells out the word “DECUS ET TUTAMEN”, meaning “an ornament and a safeguard”.
Each bar is secured in tamper-proof packaging with a unique certification number, ensuring guaranteed authenticity and straightforward verification. Representing the perfect union of historical significance and modern minting innovation, this substantial gold bar serves as both a prestigious collector’s item and a testament to British craftsmanship at its finest.
