The Story Behind the Coin
Introduced in 1987, the Britannia series has become one of Britain’s most celebrated modern gold coin collections. Annual reverse designs have helped establish the proof Britannias as highly collectable issues, with changing designs adding further interest for collectors.
The 2007 issue continues Philip Nathan’s acclaimed Seated Britannia design, first introduced on the proof series in 2005. Inspired by classical depictions of Britannia, the design portrays Britain’s national figure seated beside a lion while holding a trident, olive branch and shield.
Britannia has symbolised Britain’s strength and resilience for centuries. Nathan’s interpretation combines traditional symbolism with elegant modern engraving, creating a design that has become one of the defining images within the Britannia series.
The Design
Obverse
The obverse features the fourth definitive coinage portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS. Introduced in 1998, this portrait became one of the most recognisable effigies of the late Queen and appears alongside the denomination of One Hundred Pounds.
Reverse
The reverse features Philip Nathan’s celebrated Seated Britannia design.
Britannia is shown seated beside a lion, holding:
- A trident, representing Britain’s maritime heritage.
- An olive branch, symbolising peace.
- A shield bearing the Union Flag, representing national strength and protection.
The composition draws inspiration from classical depictions of Britannia while presenting a refined modern interpretation that has become one of the defining designs within the Britannia proof series.
Struck to The Royal Mint’s highest Proof standard, every detail of Nathan’s design is brought to life through deeply mirrored fields and beautifully frosted relief, qualities further recognised by the coin’s NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo certification.
Why Collect the Britannia Series?
Since its introduction in 1987, the Britannia series has become one of The Royal Mint’s flagship gold coin collections.
While bullion Britannias are recognised around the world as investment coins, the annual proof issues have developed a strong following among collectors thanks to their exceptional finishes, changing reverse designs and limited production.
The Seated Britannia design remains one of the most recognisable artistic interpretations within the series, making this coin an excellent addition for collectors building a date or design collection of modern Britannias.
Combining one troy ounce of fine gold, Royal Mint proof quality and the highest grade awarded by NGC, this coin represents an outstanding example of modern British numismatic craftsmanship.
