Britannia has been a lasting symbol of Britain for centuries, dating back to when the Romans arrived in the British Isles during the 1st century CE. She was first seen on Roman coins under Emperor Hadrian around 119 CE, shown as a warrior figure with classical armor. Now, you can bring this historic icon to your collection with the 1 oz Silver Antique Finish Britannia Statues, now available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 1 oz Silver Antique Finish Britannia Statue in this release from Gold Spartan comes with an antique-style finish and is shipped in a standard box along with a Certificate of Authenticity. Laser engraving on the statue displays its silver content, purity, and a unique serial number. Due to the hand-poured process, each statue may display slight distinctions in its finish. This means no two are made exactly the same.
Design
This 1 oz Silver Antique Finish Britannia Statue captures the figure of Britannia in fine detail. She is shown in a dress that appears to flow in the wind, wearing a traditional Corinthian helmet. In one hand, she holds a trident high, and in the other, she grips an olive branch while resting her arm on a shield with the Union Jack symbol.
History
Through the 1600s and 1700s, Britannias image was adapted to fit new meanings. After 1660, when the monarchy returned, she appeared more frequently on coins and medals, especially on copper farthings and halfpennies issued by Charles II. Over time, artists added elements like Neptunes trident and often a lion to emphasize naval power and courage. During the Georgian era, Britannia came to represent a confident and commanding British Empire.
