The 2021 Gold Britannia Quarter OunceThe 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 quarter-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 quarter ounce is 999.9 (99.99%) gold. The gold content in 1/4 Troy ounce, with a diameter of 22mm.
The coin, denominated as £25, is intended as a bullion coin and 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.These coins are available (subject to stock) from the Royal Mint Shop
