The figure of Britannia first appeared on the coins of Emperor Hadrian over 2,000 years ago. While the Roman Empire expanded, provinces that were conquered were embodied with female figures as a means of establishing order and providing a sense of unity. The Roman army eventually reached British shores.
Ever since the reestablished British coinage in 1672 during Charles II’s reign, Britannia made her appearance on coins of every monarch afterward. Her mere presence symbolizes a rallying point during times of crisis or celebration as she embodies national pride. Highly recognizable to the world, Britannia is a pure symbol of British minting. Henceforth, the very first Britannia bullion coin was struck in 1987 and has been revered ever since.
