The Gold Britannia stands alongside the Gold Sovereign as one of Britain’s most visible gold bullion coins. Introduced in 1987, the Gold Britannia launched a series that has become an icon of Britain around the world. The name of the coin is based on the female allegory that became associated with the British Isles during the era of Roman occupation.

King Charles III is found on the obverse of 2026 1 oz Gold Britannia Coins. This design was created in late 2022 by Martin Jennings and debuted in mid-2023 on the coins of the Britannia Series. This is the first-ever portrait of Charles III and shows the monarch in left-profile relief without a crown on his head.
Britannia is depicted in the reverse design of the 2026 British Gold Britannias. Philip Nathan created this design in 1987 and it shows Britannia’s figure in front-facing relief with a Corinthian helmet on her head. Her right hand clutches a trident while her left holds an olive branch as it rests on a Union Jack shield.
Britannia’s symbolism evolved to reflect changing national values and global position. The trident represented naval supremacy, the shield stood for the defense of the realm, and the helmet signified wisdom and protection. The lion at her feet symbolized courage and strength, while an olive branch she sometimes held represented peace.
