Description
The British Royal Mint is renowned for its ability to combine the finest craftsmanship with innovative technology. Made from 999.9 fine gold, the Britannia 2025 coin incorporates four innovative security features, making it one of the purest and most secure coins in the world.
The representation of the Roman goddess Britannia, a national allegorical figure and feminine personification of Great Britain, first appeared on British coins in 1672, during the reign of Charles II. Over the years, the iconic design has evolved, but Philip Nathan’s motif has adorned the coin for many years.
On the reverse of the Britannia 2025 coin, Lady Britannia stands proudly with a shield bearing the Union Flag, embodying the strength of Great Britain. She brandishes a trident in her right hand, while her left hand holds out an olive branch, symbolizing peace. “BRITANNIA 2025”, “1 OZ”, and “999.9 FINE GOLD” are inscribed around the coin.
In the lower left-hand corner, beneath Britannia’s elegant dress, is a latent image of a trident, in homage to her maritime history. When viewed from a different angle, this trident transforms into a padlock, to emphasise the coin’s secure nature. The background of the coin incorporates surface animation to reflect the movement of waves. The micro-text that borders the design states “DECUS ET TUTAMEN” (“An ornament and a safeguard”).
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of King Charles III, facing left. It also bears the following inscriptions: “100 POUNDS” (legal tender in the UK), “CHARLES III” and “D.G. REX. F.D.” (“Dei Gratia Rex Fidei Defensor” – Latin for “By the grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith”).
Opting for the Britannia 2025 is not only a wise investment, but also a piece of monetary art that will enrich any collection. Invest in a timeless icon.
