2013 Britannia Five-Ounce Gold Proof Coin

 Product Details:

Our finest gold, incredibly low issues, a new denomination, a new series – just a few reasons for collectors to seek out the 2013 Britannia Gold Proof Five-Ounce Coin. What is certain is that only 100 of them will ever secure this limited edition of the coin – this is a Britannia that will be found in only the most exclusive collections. The 2013 Britannia artist, portrait sculptor Robert Hunt, has created a design worthy of such attention, giving his traditional, robed Britannia a modern edge as she turns to listen to the world, an owl of wisdom as her companion.

As we begin a new page in Britannia’s history as the changing face of Britain – bullion coins will retain Philip Nathan’s original design while Proof coins will feature the work of a different British artist each year – there could be no better representation of a positive, patriotic Britain than this mighty coin. This premier coin, sister to the Sovereign, is created by a British artist, approved by the Queen perfected by our craftspeople and struck by The Royal Mint – home to the only genuine Britannia coins, for so precious is her heritage that Britannia is protected by law.

With only 100 coins to be sold in this extremely limited edition presentation, few will be lucky to glimpse this 2013 Britannia Gold Proof Five-Ounce Coin. Even fewer will be able to claim it for their own collection. The five-ounce coin has been added to the Britannia range for the first time, its size and weight – a full five ounces of finest .9999 gold– are impressive, even more so when coupled with the added depth of relief that enhances every detail of Robert Hunt’s creation. Each coin is presented in luxury, as befits our ‘Queen of the seas’, and is accompanied by a booklet that tells the story of the changing face of Britain, from her birth almost 2,000 years ago to her reappearance on Britain’s coins, and her new, modern role.
