The design is enhanced by a mighty rolling wave, symbolizing Britain’s proud naval history—from Alfred the Great to the present day. Britannia was originally the Latin name that the Roman Empire gave to the island of Great Britain and its possessions. After the fall of the Roman Empire it had lost most symbolic meaning until the rise of British influence. Britannia had been renewed during the time of Queen Victoria,. Still depicted as a young woman with brown or golden hair, she kept her Corinthian helmet and her white robes, but now she held Poseidon’s three-pronged trident and often stood in the ocean, representing British naval power. She also usually held or stood beside a Greek hoplon shield, which sported the British Union Jack. At her feet was often the British Lion, the national animal of England. Britannia first appeared on the farthing in 1672, followed by the halfpenny later the same year under Charles II. The first of the special single year designs was for the 10th anniversary of the gold Britannia’s in 1997. In 1998, the Royal Mint used the classic image of the standing Britannia and have alternated that image with a new design since. The standing Britannia has appeared in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006. A different design appeared in 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2005. A new design will be introduced for the 2011 mintage.
