Description

The 1987 1oz Gold Britannia Bullion Coin - 22ct is struck by The Royal Mint as part of the United Kingdom's flagship Gold Britannia bullion series. It contains one troy ounce of fine gold and belongs to the classic 22-carat Gold Britannia era, a long-running programme that links British legal tender coinage with international bullion collecting. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II (Raphael Maklouf effigy), while the reverse carries Standing Britannia by Philip Nathan. The Britannia figure, first introduced to the modern bullion series in 1987 through Philip Nathan's celebrated design, gives the coin a strong British identity and makes the series instantly recognisable among world bullion issues. For collectors, the 1987 issue forms part of a date run that charts the development of the Gold Britannia from its 22-carat origins through to modern 999.9 fine gold and advanced-security releases. It remains a popular annual bullion coin for those collecting by year, monarch portrait or major design period. As the first year of the Gold Britannia series, the 1987 issue is a key date. It introduced the one-ounce British gold bullion format and established the standing Britannia reverse that would become the defining image of the series.
