Britannia represents an enduring Bullion investment. The weight and strength of the coins are verified at the centuries-old annual Trial of the Pyx. The 2024 Britannia gold coin has been designed by the same team that cerated the 12-sided £1 coin. Britannia coins are CGT-exempt in the United Kingdom and VAT-free in the UK and European Community as a UK currency. Sculptor Philip Nathan, the designer of the first Britannia bullion in 1987, envisaged her as a classic and evolving icon.
The background of the coin incorporates surface animation to reflect the movement of waves and tincture lines carefully highlight fine details, such as the Union flag on Britannia’s shield, to help reinforce security and add definition to the pattern of the flag. These added security features have been incorporated to both decorate and protect the coin, just as the micro-text that borders the design states – ‘DECUS ET TUTAMEN’, which translates as ‘An ornament and a safeguard’.
