Britannia 1 oz Platinum 2024

Britannia has for centuries been the personification of Britain, depicted as a female figure with a round shield and spear. On English coins, the image was introduced in the 17th century during the reign of Charles II, but the way the figure and its attributes were framed indicates that it must have been based on a Roman prototype.

The Britannia platinum coin is another investment product that is issued by the British mint, The Royal Mint. This interesting value is produced from high-grade Pt platinum bullion.9995, weighing 1 troy ounce. Britannia, which has been well-known for many years, has been enhanced with new and innovative security features.

The safeguards put in place are:

- A radiant background created by using a picosecond laser. The effect of the laser used is visible when the coin is rotated.

- Engraved security using an angular effect, where the image changes from a padlock to a trident.

- Application of the plaster technique (on the shield). The technique of plastering is based on indicating heraldic colors by means of symbols - lines.

- Micro-engraved inscription "DECUS ET TUTAMEN", which was made with specialized lasers and which is located above the head of the titular Britannia.
