Britannia in Gold
Since 1987, Britannia has been the Royal Mint's definitive gold coin. The 2026 edition brings Emily Damstra's vision of the figure to its most elemental expression: Britannia facing directly into strong winds, shield raised and trident in hand, as resolute as the sea that defines her. In 1/10 oz of 999.9 fine gold, finished to Proof standard, it is the most accessible entry point to one of the most enduring series in modern numismatics.
Emily Damstra's Design
Damstra's Britannia is not at rest. She stands into the wind, anchored against the forces around her — a design that captures both the elemental power of the sea and the symbolic resilience the figure has represented for centuries. The coin's packaging explores Britannia's origins and her deep, centuries-long connection to the sea, giving the design its full historical context.
The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III, sculpted by Martin Jennings.
