The 2020 Gold Britannia Half-Ounce - ProofThe Gold Britannia has for some years been a popular choice for 1oz gold bullion coins, but as gold prices have risen to new highs the half-ounce gold Britannia has become popular as it is priced nearer to the Gold Sovereign coin and so is more affordable to many collectors and smaller investors.
Unlike the 22 carat gold Sovereign, the Gold Britannia half ounce is 999.9 (99.99%) gold. The gold content in 1/2 Troy ounce, with a diameter of 27mm.
The coin, denominated as £50, carries several new security features that have been copied from the Gold Britannia. The features are:
- An image that changes from padlock to trident as the coin moves (known as a 'latent' image).
- Micro text saying 'an ornament and a safeguard'.
- Surface animation gives the effect of sparkling waves.
- The shield and Union flag on the shield have tincture marks.
The Reverse shows the standing figure of Britannia by Philip Nathan.
The Obverse shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.Image credit:The Royal Mint
