Created by Philip Nathan in 1987, this design captures her standing on a coastal cliff, holding a trident in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. A shield decorated with the Union Jack rests nearby, and she wears a Corinthian-style helmet. **History** Britannias history on British coins began in 1672 during Charles IIs reign. She was originally presented in a baroque style with flowing robes, a plumed helmet, and classical drapery inspired by ancient Rome. In the 18th century, especially during George IIIs era, her depiction became more neoclassical, with simpler details and refined composition. Her helmet was redesigned with a cleaner look, her shield often bore the Union Jack, and the trident became a stronger visual symbol of Britains sea power. **Ordering** BGASC customer service can assist you with your order at 888-992-4272, via our web chat, or through email. **Buying Gold And Silver Coins With BGASC Is Convenient And Secure** BGASC is Fast, Reliable, and Trusted.
