Royal Mint, Britannia 1 Gram Gold Bar in Certi-Card (ETA June)

Description

A timeless symbol of strength and resilience, Britannia has stood as the proud personification of Britain for centuries. Originally conceived during the reign of King Charles II, her iconic image has graced coins and bullion, earning global recognition as a hallmark of quality and trust.

This 1 gram .9999 gold bar showcases Jody Clark’s modern interpretation of Britannia, adorned in a Corinthian helmet and wielding a trident and shield emblazoned with the Union flag—a powerful representation of protection and national pride.

For the first time, The Royal Mint has incorporated advanced security features into its Britannia bars, including:

Latent image: to switch between a padlock and a trident when the bar is rotated
Surface animation: when the bar is moved, it creates a wave motion at the back of Britannia
Micro-text authentication: the text around the edge of Britannia’s shield, spells out the word “DECUS ET TUTAMEN”, meaning “an ornament and a safeguard”.

Each bar arrives in tamper-evident packaging with a unique serial number, ensuring authenticity and ease of liquidation. A striking addition to any collection, this gold bar combines historical significance with cutting-edge craftsmanship.
