2018 Great Britain 6 Piece Gold Britannia Set NGC PF70UC First Strike

Act Fast to Reserve Your Golden Britannia Proof Coins!

More than 2,000 years ago, when the Romans first landed on the shores of a massive island beyond the northernmost reaches of their empire, they named the discovered land Britannia. Over the years, the title of Britannia bloomed into a lyrical personification of the isles that evolved from the conquered figure imagined under Emperor Hadrian to the "warrior queen" of the Elizabethan era and beyond. And while the United Kingdom continues to change and evolve, the figure of Britannia still stands tall, illuminating the ideals of pride, fortitude and progress.

Britannia's beauty and symbolism has graced British coins for centuries. So, it was only natural for her to take center stage when the British Royal Mint introduced its premier gold bullion series in 1987. Bringing silver into the fold in 1997, today the Britannia is among the most premier names in precious metal coinage, standing with the South African Krugerrand, the American Eagle and the Canadian Maple Leaf. And while the bullion edition of the Britannia has kept its same design since 2013, each year brings an exciting new design to the Britannia Proof -- and this year is no different! With a new contemporary design by one of England's rising young artists, we're proud to bring you this 2018 Gold Britannia Six-Piece Proof Set!

Struck in 1.925 ounces of highly-pure 99.99% gold by the artisans of the Royal Mint, the coins in the set include the following weights and denominations: 1-ounce (£100), 1/2-ounce (£50), 1/4-ounce (£25), 1/10-ounce (£10), 1/20-ounce (£1) and 1/40-ounce (50-pence). Not only is each coin struck in gorgeous Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition resulting in coins that exhibit superb details and beautiful, lustrous finishes, but the sets we have available have been certified as First Strike (FS) coins by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), meaning that your coins were among the first struck by the mint and were verified within the first 30 days of issue! And with only 220 sets for worldwide release, you’ll need to act fast to guarantee you get your Gold Britannia Proofs!
