Britannia has symbolized Britain and her proud island heritage since the time of Roman Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD). She first appeared on British currency in 1672, on the copper coins of Charles II. He used her as a political symbol of his war with the Dutch, though her olive branch represented a desire for peace above conflict.

Beautifully presented and accompanied by an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity the coin carries on its obverse the familiar portrait of Her Majesty the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley, FRBS. The coin contains a quarter of an ounce of fine gold, and is made available in its own presentation case.
