The Classic Gold Britannia Collection
The collection comprises five Britannia families, each set featuring a different design of Britannia and struck in 22 carat gold in proof quality.
The certificate number of this set is 6 out of 27.
Special (Single Year) Designs
The first of the special single year designs was for the 10th anniversary of the gold Britannias in 1997. Since then, the Royal Mint seem to have settled on a pattern of alternating the classic standing Britannia with a one-off design. Special designs have therefore been issued in 1997, 2001, 2003 and 2005. The 1998 design was the classic standing Britannia design that has been included in this set.
