2003 Gold Proof Britannia Four Coin Set
2003 gold proof four-coin Britannia set from The Royal Mint featuring a one-year-only reverse design, created by renowned engraver Philip Nathan. In a contemporary twist, Britannia is shown facing to the left, with modernist text placed over her effigy. To complement this, the obverse design shows Ian Rank Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the fourth definitive portrait of Her Majesty used on UK coinage. Four coins are present in the limited edition red leather box set: 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz. A three-coin set was also released in 2003, which excludes the 1oz piece. The fine gold weight for all four coins combined is 1.85 troy ounces, with a total weight of 62.77 grams. Unlike more recent Britannia coins, these proof versions are struck in 22-carat gold. Being Pound Sterling gold coins, they're exempt from Capital Gains Tax and VAT. Just 1,250 sets of this type were issued by The Royal Mint in this limited edition presentation.
