Britannia has been the national symbol of Great Britain since the 18th century. However her story goes back much further. The first Britannia was struck on bronze coins by the Romans in the first century A.D.

The modern Britannia was designed by famed coin artist Philip Nathan. It was released in 1987 as a 1 oz. gold coin. In 1997, the first silver Britannia was struck. The 2nd year issue in 1998 and all even-numbered years that followed feature the same image of Britannia holding both a trident and shield

Prior to 2012, odd numbered years featured a different design that were struck in low numbers and are among the most sought-after Britannia’s. The 2009 ” chariot ” Britannia has a mintage of 100,000 with less than 7,000 proofs.

The Chariot Britannia is a rendition of the 1999 design featuring Britannia on a chariot pulled by horses. It was used a third time in 2017 celebrating the 30-year anniversary of the series ..

The 2009 Britannia is proof struck in 1 troy ounce of .958 pure silver. A total of just  6,984 proof coins were struck making the 2009 Britannia proof one of the most sought after of the series.
