One of the great annual favourites, the exquisite £10 Britannia coin is the ideal solution for anyone looking for that extra-special birthday or christening present this year.
With a denomination of £10, it contains a tenth-ounce of fine gold and features the new, very patriotic portrait of Britannia created by David Mach RA especially for the 2011 Britannia family. Minted in 22 carat yellow gold – a brilliant colour achieved by adding a small amount of silver to the alloy – to impeccable Proof quality, the coin comes in a handsome presentation case complete with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity guaranteeing its provenance, gold content and stringent minting limits.
Please note this coin is subject to a maximum coin mintage of 8,000.
‘How to work with Britannia and make her a contemporary image and not just appear nationalistic?’ was the challenge David Mach set himself when asked to create a new portrait of Britannia for 2011 coins. It was a question answered brilliantly for, marrying Britannia’s long history with modern values, he has created a Britannia that reaches into the very heart of British consciousness, a symbol of enduring patriotism, seated among the billowing folds of the Union Flag.
