The UK Britannia is a type of gold bullion coin that has been in use since 1987 as competition to the South African Krugerrand. The Krugerrand had been gaining importance in bullion markets worldwide and so the Britannia was introduced to encash on this demand from these markets. This British coin has a face value of approximately £100 and contains approximately 1 troy ounce of gold. Since the reign of monarch Charles II, the goddess Britannia has always graced all British coins in various poses. These poses are used to depict the various changing facets of the island nation as well as her ancient origins.

The first Gold Britannias were issued in 1987. Since that year, four Britannia proof coin sets were issued every successive year. From 1990 onwards, there has been a drastic reduction in the mintage of these 4 coin sets. As a result, these coins have now become quite rare and are being preserved by collectors. Ten years after the minting of gold coins, in 1997 the royal Mint started production of silver Britannia coins that were available in 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce sizes.

Apart from the 1 oz. weight of the gold Britannia coins which has a diameter of 32.69mm, the other dimensions that these coins are available in are ½ oz., ¼ oz. and 1/10 oz.

In the 2008 variations of the UK gold bullion Britannia coins, the figure of Britannia is shown to be like an innocent maiden while at the same time made to appear like a warrior. The designer of this 2008 design was John Bergdahl who has managed to make Britannia appear at one with the sea and wind while at the same time casting her as elemental and essential.
