Set of 4 x Random Year Britannia Proof Gold Coins | The Royal Mint

Since its initial conception in 1987, the Britannia has become one of the most highly sought-after bullion coins available today due to its near flawless design and the security that it provides investors.

Mighty Britannia is to be considered an embodiment of the tempers which make her nation strong, as she clutches symbols of sustenance, defense, peace, and sovereignty. Britannia was originally a Roman personification of the country of Britain (a regular custom for the Romans), but since about the second century A.D. has been referred to as a goddess, most often of the sea. Although the reverse design of this more recent bullion coin changes every year and is sometimes standing, sometimes sitting, one thing remains the same, this "Lady of the Sea" stands as a reminder of the history of her heritage.

Each of the coins maintain a similar, but not always identical, design on both the obverse and reverse.
