British Britannia Four-Coin Gold Coin Set 1/10oz - 1oz

The Four-Coin Gold Britannia Proof Set 

Few gold bullion sets can match these Britannia collections as a marriage of raw intrinsic value and collectable quality. Generally, the coins within are each struck to The Royal Mint's exacting proof quality, instantly setting them apart from gold Britannias found on the bullion market.

Four-coin sets hold the contents of the three-piece selection, that being a half, quarter, and tenth fractional denomination, plus a full 1oz Britannia. These are collector's releases for those looking to possess gold Britannias of the finest design and quality. Collections of four Britannias are a centrepiece in celebration of one of the world’s most respected gold coins.

Britannia: A Brief History

Britannia herself is one of the reasons for the sought-after nature of your set of four coins. While adopted and represented for much of British history, she is not an invention of the natives - Britannia is actually a creation of the Roman Empire. The female warrior, often shown with her helmet, branch, trident, and shield, is a goddess symbolic of the nation that was once a Roman province.

In later years, she became a symbol of the naval dominance associated with the British Empire. This is why coinage designers often choose a coastal setting or wave patterning when sculpting her. When The Royal Mint sought to produce a sister bullion series to the Sovereign, intended for global adoption, the personification of Britain and its qualities was clearly an obvious choice.

Depending on the year of your set the design apparent on the reverse side will vary. That said, the most common Britannia design is Philip Nathan's regal, coastal representation. Our numismatists will happily talk you through your design which, no doubt, will hold fantastic detail thanks to the proof finish afforded to these set coins.

The Tenth, Quarter, Half and One Ounce Britannia

The four coins present total to an impressive 1.85 troy ounces of pure gold content. This is regardless of if your set contains 24ct (2013 onwards) or 22ct (1987 - 2012) Britannias. The diameter of your coins varies from 16.50 millimetres in the case of the 1/10oz Britannia up to 32.69 millimetres for the 1oz example.

Proof Britannia sets, especially those retaining the original presentation display, appeal to collectors of UK coins as well as savvy investors. Gold Traders will value your gold coin set against its suitable market and offer a bespoke value for your set.
