Britannia has meant different things during human history. When the Roman Empire conquered the British Isles, the term “Britannia” was a Latin word used to describe the inhabitants of Britain. Over the course of time, Britannia came to also serve as a female personification of both the island itself and Britons in particular. Her image has graced the reverse side of the Britannia coin since 1987, often featured with varying depictions.

On the reverse of these 2015 British Silver Britannia coins is the depiction of Britannia herself. Her full-length figure stands guard over the English Channel, with a trident in her right hand and a shield in her left. Noticeable within the shield is the Union Jack, England’s national flag.
