{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The story of Britannia as a national personification of Britain stretches back to Roman times, when the British Isles became part of the empire in the 1st century CE. Coins issued under Emperor Hadrian around 119 CE first showed Britannia as a female warrior figure. Today, collectors can own a version of that classic image with the 1 oz Antique Finish Britannia Silver Statues, available at BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 1 oz Antique Finish Britannia Silver Statue from Gold Spartan is packaged in a standard box and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The statue is treated with an antique finish and includes engraved details about the silver content, purity, and a unique serial number. These statues are individually hand-poured, a method that produces minor differences between pieces. As a result, each one is distinct in its own way.
Design
The 1 oz Antique Finish Britannia Silver Statue features Britannia in a striking pose. Shes dressed in a flowing gown and wears a Corinthian-style helmet. With her right hand, she holds a large trident, while her left hand supports an olive branch and a shield decorated with the Union Jack.
History
Britannias appearance evolved over time, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. After the monarchy was restored in 1660, she became a common figure on British currency, such as the copper farthings and halfpennies introduced by Charles II in 1672. Artists updated her look with new detailslike a trident to represent sea power and a lion to reflect courage. During the Georgian era, Britannias role shifted to one of imperial strength and confidence.
