The 2008 Gold Britannia Proof 4-Coin Set consists of:
Queen Elizabeth II's fourth portrait can be seen on the obverses of the coins, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.
The four coins are all made of solid 22 carat gold (Gold fineness of 0.916), and are housed in their original Royal Mint acrylic screw top capsules. The coins are presented in their Royal Mint wooden presentation case, complete with outer black card box, and accompanied with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.
Only 1,250 sets were issued by the Royal Mint in 2008.
The eponymous Britannia, together with a combination of trident, Union Jack shield and lion are all symbols of Great Britain, devised many centuries ago to signify that Britain ruled the waves (as it did indeed in those days with the most powerful navy in the world). Britannia is the female personification of Great Britain and has been part of British coinage for a long time.
