The 1 oz Gold Britannia is among the world's oldest and most esteemed gold bullion coins. First introduced by The Royal Mint in 1987, it was part of a global series that followed the South African Krugerrand, Canadian Maple Leaf, Chinese Panda, and American Eagle. At its launch, the British Gold Britannia was available in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz sizes, crafted in a Crown gold alloy (22-karat, or 91.67% gold). In 2013, The Royal Mint enhanced its purity to 24-karat, reaching .9999 pure gold.

For 2025, the Gold Britannia’s obverse continues to feature the first portrait of King Charles III, created by Martin Jennings in 2022. This left-profile relief is notable for its simplicity, omitting a crown to capture the new monarch's likeness.

On the reverse, Britannia stands proudly in her classic pose, symbolizing British strength and resilience. She is shown forward-facing, donning a Corinthian helmet, holding a trident in her right hand, while her left hand steadies a Union Jack shield and clutches an olive branch. This design continues to embody Britannia’s timeless spirit and remains a favorite among collectors and investors worldwide.
