Britannia Core and Premium Range

The 2021 Proof Britannias are split into two editions; the Core Range and the Premium Range. For the first time ever, each edition has a different design, both by Irish artist P.J. Lynch.

The Core Range shows a version of Britannia and the lion which is reminiscent of William Wyon's Una and the Lion design. It features Britannia in her armour, holding her shield and trident with a lion seated by her side. Linear rays of sunshine appear in the background.

The Premium Range features a contemporary design of Britannia which embraces the changing face of Britain. It shows a right-facing portrait of Britannia looking out across the waves. She is wearing a helmet engraved with a rearing lion.

Obverse

Designed by Jody Clark, the obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. She is shown wearing the Diamond Diadem crown as worn at her Coronation. The legend reads:

ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG ·F · D · 'DENOMINATION'

Reverse

The revere features a design reminiscent of William Wyon's iconic Una and the Lion. Britannia is shown in her armour, holding her shield and trident with a lion seated by her side. Linear rays of sunshine appear in the background. It was design by Irish artist, P.J. Lynch.
