Britannia has long been recognized as a national emblem of Britain, appearing on coins, in artwork, and in cultural references as a personification of the nation. Her image became especially prominent during the height of the British Empire, with “Rule, Britannia!” serving as an unofficial anthem. Today, she continues to appear on coins and remains a symbol of British tradition and heritage.

Each 2026 1 oz British Gold Britannia Tube is packaged in an acrylic tube that holds 10 coins, totaling 10 Troy ounces of 24-karat gold. The reverse design incorporates modern security features such as motion texture wave lines in the background, a latent security image, tincture lines on the Union Jack shield, and micro-engraved text around Britannia.

The obverse of the 2026 British Gold Britannia Coin features King Charles III. This official portrait, introduced in 2022, was created by artist Martin Jennings. It shows the king in left-profile relief without a crown.

The reverse design presents a modern interpretation of Britannia by artist Philip Nathan, first introduced in 1987. She stands on a coastal rock holding a trident in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, carrying a Union Jack shield and wearing a Corinthian helmet.
