HISTORY OF THE BRITANNIA
As the Roman Empire expanded,
subjugated provinces were personified with female figures, in a bid to establish order and create a sense of political unity.
A warrior seated on rocks with a spear in her hand,
Britannia first appeared on the coins of the Emperor Hadrian more than 2,000 years ago.
When the Romans left the shores around 400 AD, Britannia vanished with them, only to experience a cultural revival during the reign of Elizabeth I.
A return to coinage followed in 1672 as Charles II sought to inspire the British people, by depicting this stirring symbol on the farthing and halfpenny bolstering his claim
to lordship of the seas.
She’s been a fixture on Britain’s coins ever since.
