Gold Britannia Design
The design of the Britannia has seen a few changes since it was first released in 1987. The obverse of the coin features the fifth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse depicts the classic 1987 of Britannia, a warrior bearing the Union Flag with an olive branch for peace.
