Britannia coins are The Royal Mint's own gold and silver bullion coins. Gold Britannias were first made in 1987, and silver Britannias followed in 1997. The 2027 coins celebrate 40 years of the gold coin and 30 years of the silver coin.
Every coin shows Britannia, the figure who has stood for Britain on coins since Roman times. Today's coins are struck in 999.9 fine gold and 999 fine silver, and they're UK legal tender.
