History

Britannia, the female embodiment of the United Kingdom, has a rich history. Her presence dates back to Roman currency under the reign of Hadrian. She made her first appearance on British currency on the farthing in 1672. Over the years, she has remained a significant figure depicted on British coinage. The British Britannia Silver Series was initiated in 1997 and has since become a cornerstone of the bullion market.
