This is the smallest issue in the popular Britannia series, struck in just 0.80 grams of 24-carat gold with a face value of Fifty Pence. These fractional UK proof coins have been sporadically issued in this individual carded presentation but are commonly found in 6-coin gold Britannia sets.

Louis Tamlyn's reverse design for 2017 proof Britannias is one of the most unusual of the series, transposing Britannia's figure onto a map of the British Isles. The legend reads 'BRITANNIA 1/40 OZ FINE FOLD 999.9' with '2017' and a 30th anniversary trident mintmark to the right.
Jody Clark's fifth coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse of this 2017 coin, with a legend that reads 'ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 50 PENCE ·'. This effigy was used on UK coins from 2015 to 2022.
Fortieth-ounce coins like this one are struck in 0.80 grams of 24-carat (999.9) fine gold. Denominated at Fifty Pence, this is the smallest issue in the Britannia range, struck with a proof finish and measuring 8.00 millimetres in diameter.
The Royal Mint advertised this 2014 coin as part of a limited-edition presentation of 1,500 coins. Published mintage figures reveal that this piece is actually significantly scarcer, with just 888 issued, plus coins in sets.
This pre-owned edition is supplied in the original, individually numbered fold-out presentation card from The Royal Mint, which is packed with information on the Britannia series. A built-in capsule protects the coin from loss and damage.
