UK Gold Britannia - 1/10 oz -

The 1/10 ounce Britannia gold coin - various vintages

The Britannia gold coin from Great Britain is one of the most famous coins on the market. As the national figure of Great Britain, the Britannia stands for wisdom and state community. She is a well-known and widely used symbol of the sea power and defense of Great Britain. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Royal Mint Ltd. has chosen the Britannia as a motif for a gold coin since 1987. Since 2020, the Royal Mint Ltd. has further developed the Britannia coin and incorporated new security features that make it even harder to make counterfeits of this coin.
