Product Description
The half-ounce Britannia
The 1/2oz coin is the largest of the fractional Gold Britannias. It gives you a good amount of gold in one coin, while costing less than a full ounce, so it's a popular middle ground for buyers.
Philip Nathan's Britannia
The reverse shows Philip Nathan's much-loved Britannia, first used on the coin in 1987. She stands with her trident, olive branch and a shield bearing the Union flag. The obverse carries Martin Jennings' portrait of King Charles III and the £50 face value.
Four security features
Tilt the coin in the light to check these for yourself:
- Latent image - a small mark that switches between a padlock and a trident.
- Surface animation - waves that seem to move behind Britannia.
- Micro-text - tiny lettering reading DECUS ET TUTAMEN ("an ornament and a safeguard").
- Tincture lines - fine lines that pick out the Union flag on Britannia's shield.
Packaging
Each coin comes in a coin flip, which helps keep it in top condition. Multiples of 10 are supplied in original tubes from The Royal Mint.

At today's live market price, the gold in this coin is worth about £{{lp|au|999|0.5|ozt}}.

Denomination Information
The Royal Mint launched the Gold Britannia in 1987, and since 2013 it has been struck in 999.9 fine gold. The 1/2oz coin carries a face value of £50, though its gold is worth far more than that.
Gold Britannias come in 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz sizes, all with the same design and purity. That makes it easy to build up a holding in whatever sizes suit you.
