About this display

Display your British coins alongside a standing sculpture of Britannia, with an integrated platform for coins ranging from 1 ounce silver bullion coins to numismatic coins.

This coin display presents Britannia in a crested helmet, holding a trident and a Union Flag shield, the personification of Britain that has appeared on British coinage since the seventeenth century. A coin platform sits on the base in front of the figure so the piece becomes part of the composition.

Aurea Displays connects the physical coin with the artwork, symbolism and history behind one of the longest-running designs in British numismatics.

BRITANNIA ON BRITISH COINAGE

Britannia first appeared on English copper coins under Charles II in 1672 and has returned on pennies, florins, fifty-pence pieces and bullion issues ever since.

The standing or seated figure with helmet, trident and shield is the type collectors recognise from Victorian and Edwardian pennies, later fifty-pence coins, and the modern Britannia bullion series. Pre-decimal pennies measure about 30.8 mm; many later circulating Britannia types are smaller.

This sculpture uses that coin type as the starting point for a full standing figure. The windblown drapery, helmet and Union Flag shield are an artistic interpretation created to complement the familiar coin image.

DESIGNED FOR BRITISH COINS

This display is particularly suited to pairing a Britannia penny, fifty-pence piece, or another British circulating or bullion coin with the standing figure.

The holder can be tailored to your coin’s diameter and thickness. Other British and Commonwealth denominations can also be accommodated.

Please provide your coin’s diameter and thickness in the personalization field so the holder can be adapted to your chosen coin.

HISTORICALLY INSPIRED DESIGN

The helmet, trident, shield and drapery follow the Britannia type known from British coinage.

It is an artistic interpretation, not an official Royal Mint product.
