About the Britannia Design
The Britannia design is one of the most iconic images in British coinage. Representing strength, security and national heritage, Britannia has appeared on British coins for centuries and remains a trusted symbol of Royal Mint bullion.
The reverse features Britannia standing with her trident, shield and olive branch, while the obverse features the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The 2022 issue is particularly collectable as one of the final Britannia gold bullion coins to feature Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
