BOLD is very pleased to offer for your consideration, this striking new presentation of Great Britain's iconic Britannia premium exclusive edition. This brand new 2021 Great Britain Britannia Core Edition 5oz Silver Proof coin is highly impressive in its strong, updated interpretation.

As introduced by The Royal Mint,

"For centuries, the stoic figure of Britannia has stood as the embodiment of a nation – poised, dignified and steadfast. Known for her imposing trident, flag-emblazoned shield and the unmistakable British lion that often accompanies her, this noble figure has maintained her iconic status to this day.

Britannia was originally created as the personification of the British Isles under the Roman Empire but since then Britannia has represented the changing face of Britain and this year is no exception. In keeping with this year's theme of 'the spirit of innovation', The Royal Mint is proud to unveil the latest edition of this flagship coin, which features a fresh interpretation of Britannia by the illustrator P. J. Lynch. This new depiction once again seeks to embrace, embody and empower the spirit of Britannia and the proud British nation for which she stands."

Britannia is seated with a lion also seated to her right. Her right arm rests on the powerful shoulder of this magnificent creature. Britannia firmly grasps her shield and trident at her left. The background consists of fine lines generating out from the coin's center, to the rimband, completely encircling the superimposed images of Britannia and the lion. Within the narrow rimband is the inscription, "BRITANNIA." Additional inscriptions include, "5 oz 999 FINE SILVER" at top left, and "2021" at the bottom rim.
