Description
As the scope of the Roman Empire grew, female figures were used to represent the provinces they had conquered. This was a strategy to instill a sense of order and unity. The Roman military extended its reach northward, eventually crossing the channel to land on the shores of Britain. The figure of Britannia made her first appearance on the coins of Emperor Hadrian more than two millennia ago.
In 1672, during the rule of Charles II, Britannia was reintroduced to British currency and has been featured on the coins of every monarch since. She stands as a steadfast symbol during times of crisis or celebration, encapsulating our national pride. Britannia is a figure known worldwide, resonating with international investors as a reliable emblem of the excellence of British minting.
