Britannia, Enduring
She has stood on British coins since Roman times. Through war and peace, through empire and reformation, through every upheaval the modern world has produced, Britannia has remained — a steadfast symbol of national resolve and maritime heritage. The 2026 Royal Mint Britannia Proof gives that centuries-old figure a design for the present moment.
A Modern Vision by American Artist Emily Damstra
The reverse was designed by Emily Damstra, an American artist chosen by the Royal Mint for her ability to bring classical subjects to life with contemporary power. Damstra’s Britannia stands strong against rough and churning seas — waters that speak to the turbulence and uncertainty of the modern world, and to the resolve required to face it. It is a design that honors tradition while refusing to be contained by it.
The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III, sculpted by Martin Jennings.
Struck to Proof Standard in 999 Fine Silver
Proof coinage represents the Royal Mint’s highest standard of production: hand-selected blanks, specially polished dies, and multiple strikes to achieve the deep mirror fields and sharply frosted relief that define the format. This coin is struck in 999 fine silver — 31.21 grams at 38.61mm — the standard dimensions of the world’s most collectible 1 oz silver issues.

Presentation is limited to 3,000 coins. Each is accompanied by original Royal Mint packaging that explores how Britannia’s centuries-old story has been woven into Emily Damstra’s modern design — context that deepens the meaning of the coin and makes for a complete collector’s presentation.
