History

Britannia, symbolizing the United Kingdom, traces her origins back to Roman currency during the reign of Hadrian. She made her debut on British currency on the farthing in 1672 and has since remained an enduring figure in British coinage. The British Silver Britannia Series was initiated in 1997 and has been a significant presence in the bullion market ever since.
