Proof Gold Quarter Ounce Britannia 2017
Description This proof gold quarter ounce Britannia, dated 2017, bears a new reverse design. First minted in 1987, the Britannia was a major development in British gold coinage. The new design, by Louis Tamlyn, shows a modern Britannia. Holding her ancient warrior attributes – spear, crested helmet and shield – she represents a sign of stability and a long standing emblem of a nation. She holds both her spear and shield with strength. Her silhouette is incorporated with Great Britain and her flowing robe is actually Britain itself. The obverse of the coin features Jody Clark’s portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This 2017 proof gold quarter ounce Britannia comes in a plastic capsule, along with original Royal Mint boxes, certificate of authenticity and informative booklet.
