1988 Great Britain 1 oz Gold Britannia BU
In 1988, the Royal Mint issued this magnificent one-ounce gold coin, carrying a face value of 100 pounds. Struck with a purity of 0.9167 fine gold, the metal is deliberately blended with a copper alloy to enhance its durability and wear resistance, ensuring the preservation of its detailed artistry. The obverse displays the elegant profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by her royal titles and the face value of the coin. This official sovereign issue is fully backed by the government of the United Kingdom. On the reverse, the powerful figure of Britannia stands holding her traditional trident and shield. This female personification has represented the resilience, integrity, and fortitude of Britain on coinage since the era of the Roman Empire, making this design a continuation of an ancient numismatic legacy.
