{{/presale}}The British Britannia Series has been one of the most prominent gold bullion coins in the world since its debut in 1987. The series now features gold, silver, and platinum versions, but it is the gold coin that is the longest-running in the series. The 1 oz gold coin is the centerpiece of the collection and has been available each year since 1987.
Highlights:
When you purchase a 2021 British Britannia 1 oz Gold Coin in this product listing, Provident Metals offers you gold coins that are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These coins are available to purchase individually inside of protective plastic flips. Mint tubes house multiples of 10 coins, while Monster Boxes house multiples of 100 coins. The Monster Box contains a total of 10 tubes with 10 coins per tube.
The Royal Mint of England delivers new security features on the reverse field of 2021 Britannia 1 oz Gold Coins. The most impressive and visually brilliant are the surface animation elements throughout the background and the latent security feature. As you adjust the angle of viewing, the surface animation reflects the movement of the oceans waves and the latent security feature changes between an image of a trident and a padlock. The stripes on the Union Jack have new tincture lines and the design rim has a micro-text inscription of Decus Et Tutamen.
Obverse
The obverse side of 2021 British Britannia 1 oz Gold Coins includes an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The fifth-generation effigy of the Queen, this bust is a right-profile image that shows the Queen at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. Jody Clark developed this image of the Queen for British coins in 2015. Inscriptions on this face of the coin include 100 Pounds, Elizabeth II, and D.G. Reg F.D. The background field has a guilloche design element, a visual field that appears similar to a braided rope.
Reverse
On the reverse face of 2021 British Britannia Gold Coins is a depiction of Britannia. This powerful female figure is the official personification of Britain and the term Britannia itself has been in use for more than 2,000 years now. Britannia is shown with a Union Jack shield and a trident in her other hand. Inscriptions here include Britannia 2021 and 1 oz 999.9 Fine Gold. The background field includes a sun on the horizon with a guilloche-style element of sun rays emerging from the sun.
History
The 1 oz gold coin in the British Britannia Series debuted in 1987. It was accompanied that year by the 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coins. In 2013, the series not only increased gold purity to .9999 pure gold from 22-karat gold, but it also gained 1/20 oz and 5 oz gold coins.
