Britannia, the female personification of the British Isles, takes her name from an ancient term for Great Britain and has been a popular figure since the 1st century when she was first depicted on Roman coinage under the rule of Emperor Hadrian. Illustrated as a goddess, Britannia resembles the Roman figure Boudica.
Britannia first appeared on British coins in 1672, when she graced the farthing. The first Britannia bullion was first minted in 1987.
