In 2023 Benham in conjunction with the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Britannia £25 Twenty Five Pound Gold Coin First Day Cover struck in solid 999.9 Gold weighing one quarter of an ounce of pure Gold.
Britannia first appeared as a provincial figure on a Roman Imperial Coin of the Emperor Hadrian (117 - 138 AD), although she did not feature on English Coins until the Copper Halfpennies and Farthings of Charles II in 1672. Since that time Britannia has continuously appeared on Britain‘s coinage.
The latest in a long line of elegant and beautifully designed Britannia's can be found on the reverse of this 2023 Britannia £25 Twenty Five Pound Gold Coin.
The reverse depicts Philip Nathan's Standing Britannia
while the obverse has the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark
