You can purchase these coins individually in protective flips, in tubes of 10 coins, or in boxes of 100 coins.

Britannia has been a fixture on British coinage for more than 300 years, with her design changing to suit the artistic style of each era. From the ornate styles of the 17th century to the refined look of the 18th and 19th centuries, and now to modern depictions, her core symbols remain: the shield, trident, and helmet.

The obverse of the 2026 British Gold Britannia shows the portrait of King Charles III. Created by Martin Jennings in 2022, this effigy marks the first appearance of His Majesty on British coins. The left-profile design shows the King without a crown.

On the reverse, the 2026 1 oz Gold Britannia presents the iconic artwork by Philip Nathan from 1987. Britannia is seen standing on a rocky shoreline, holding a trident in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with a Union Jack shield at her side and a Corinthian helmet on her head.
