From a brilliant legacy stretching over centuries of British coinage history, Britannia extends the influence of her realm once again! The Royal Mint Britannia 50-gram Bar was designed by Jody Clark, the mint's Chief Engraver. This already popular design continues to grow.
The obverse of the bar presents Britannia looking to her left, always alert to any threats upon the realm she is sworn to defend. She is arrayed in a fine white gown, yet protected by a fitted, scalloped breastplate. Upon her head is a finely-designed helmet, with its face guard raised. A rolling wave design graces the helmet's head portion, while the crest displays fine horse hair standing high.
Britannia grasps the Trident in her left hand, with which she is ready to defend the seas. In her right hand, she holds her shield, which displays the image of Great Britain's flag, ready to defend the realm. The single inscription "BRITANNIA" is also displayed at the lower left, superimposed on the shield. Filling the background is a truly stunning wavy-line design. This represents the seas as a fitting tribute to strong British nautical history. As a symbol of strength and integrity, Britannia has for centuries been featured on British coinage.
The bar's reverse design is no less striking. The top portion features The Royal Mint's official seal and trademark "The Royal Mint." Also included are the inscriptions "50 g 999.9 FINE GOLD." The background features five cresting waves at the bottom.
The introduction of Britannia with a stunningly fresh design in gold bullion bar form is opening a new vista for collectors and investors alike. We are extremely pleased both with the awesome design and the opportunity to offer the 50 gram Britannia Gold Bars!
