1 oz Gold Britannia Coin - Random Year

1 oz Gold Britannia Coin - Random Year

Gold Britannias are among the best-selling gold coins in the market.

The British Royal Mint introduced the series in 1987 with a 1 oz coin of pure 99.9% gold holding a £100 denomination.

The series premiered with Britannia and the former monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, as the motif stamped on the coin’s surfaces. In 2023, due to the passing of the Queen and the crowning of King Charles III, the Royal Mint has released a new obverse design portraying the bust of the new monarch.

Today, you can purchase random year 1 oz Gold Britannia coins online from SD Bullion.

Britannia Design

The original coin’s design has changed over the years. We can count at least four variations of the reverse design. But Britannia remains a steady element in all versions. Likewise, the obverse portrayed the Queens portrait since the inception of the program, until 2023, when the obverse bust was replaced for King Charles III’s effigy.

The first appearance of Britannia in coins dates back to 1672, in the Roman Era. It was introduced as a female figure who personified the nation. In the history of British coinage, Britannia has already been portrayed as a goddess, a charioteer, and a warrior with a helmet and carrying the Union Jack Shield.

Along with Her image, the inscriptions usually comprise “BRITANNIA” and information regarding the coin’s year of issuance, weight, metal content, and purity.

The obverse design depicted Queen Elizabeth II from 1987 to 2023. Due to her passing in late 2022, her portrait was replaced for King Charles III bust.
