A 1999 gold proof quarter ounce coin, featuring Philip Nathan's standing Britannia.

The Modern Britannia

Modern Britannia are British Bullion coins, first offered by The Royal Mint in 1987. Today, Britannias come in a range of weights - from 5 ounces to a tiny 1/20 ounce coin - as well as a variety of metals. A small number of proof examples and proof sets are also released each year.

The reverse design changes most years: following the Britannia theme but incorporating new symbolic details. The 1999 gold proof Britannias, including the quarter ounce coin, feature the most common reverse: Philip Nathan’s classic standing Britannia, clutching shield and trident. This is paired with Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Elizabeth II.
