The obverse features a poised Britannia with her war helmet, fish scale armour, shield and trident, rendered in such sure and meticulous detail as to give this Britannia a truly modern flare. Britannia's imposing figure is set against a field of stylised wave design, owing to her maritime connections; she is joined only by the 'Britannia' title in the lower left corner.
The reverse features the same wave design and includes the pictorial and written Royal Mint logos, as well as details of weight, metal content purity and serial number. Interest has been added at the bottom of the reverse, where a region has been kept clear of the field texturing in an artful wave-shaped design.
Mighty Britannia is to be considered an embodiment of the tempers which make her nation strong, as she clutches symbols of sustenance, defence, peace, sovereignty, and national pride. Britannia was originally a Roman personification of the country of Britain (a regular custom for the Romans), but since about the second century A.D. has been referred to as a goddess, most often of the sea. Although the reverse design of this more recent bullion coin changes every year and is sometimes standing, sometimes sitting, one thing remains the same, this "Lady of the Sea" stands as a reminder of the history of her heritage. Britannia products are available as gold coins, silver coins, and gold bars, among other bullion coins and bars.
