The female personification of Britain, Britannia has a rich history dating back to the Roman Empire. When the Romans, led by Julius Caesar, conquered the British Isles, Britannia was used as an emblem of this victory. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, Britannia lay mostly dormant until she was revitalized during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I during the 16^th and 17^th centuries. This was in part due to the presence of a female Monarch, the expansion of British naval power, and an increase in national pride and patriotism.

Each British Gold Britannia Bar in this listing online will arrive inside a protective plastic card. The front of these cards contains the Royal Mint logo and the British flag. On the reverse, you will find the bar’s hallmarks and assay information. These bars were produced by the Royal Mint and will arrive to you in brand-new condition.

The obverse of 100 Gram British Britannia Bars features the female personification of Britain known as Britannia. In this design by Jody Clark, we see Britannia in right-profile relief wearing a decorative Corinthian helmet. Following classical depictions, she is shown here holding a shield and a trident, both symbols of strength and protection. In the background, there is an elegant swirling pattern.

On the reverse side of 100 Gram British Gold Britannia Bars, you will see the Royal Mint logo. In a design modeled after the Royal arms, this emblem features a quartered shield with a crown on the crest. Beneath this design is hallmarks reading 100g, 999.9 Fine Gold. At the bottom of the reverse, there are ocean waves amidst a swirling line pattern backdrop.
