"Britannia is a personification of Britain in the ancient (classical) style. The model for later representations of this type was the Roman bronze coin issues from the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. To commemorate their achievements in Britannia (e.g. the construction of Hadrian's Bulwark, Antoninus' Bulwark) or in relation to this province of the empire, the reverses of debased coins featured an allegory in the form of a personification of the province of Britannia depicted as a seated female figure leaning against a circular shield and wielding a spear or a military sign (vexillum). On English coins (halfpenny and farthing) this depiction was introduced in the 17th century during the reign of Charles II, with the depiction of the figure and its attributes indicating that it must have been based on a Roman original. Slightly modified over time, the allegory of Britain took on particular significance during the Victorian era and during both World Wars, retaining it until at least the 1950s, when it played an important role in the propaganda of the British Empire."

This gold bullion coin brings together two very important symbols of Britain. Since its introduction in 1821, it has become a real attraction for many investors. It is minted from high-grade gold (9999) by the Royal British Mint. It is a highly desirable investment object and a full-fledged means of payment in the UK. The variety of the series makes the coin not readily available and therefore a model eagerly sought after by investors. The Royal Mint is one of Europe's oldest mints, producing coins and orders for some 60 countries around the world and has exclusive rights to produce pounds and national medals in the UK. It also issues many commemorative coins, both bullion and collector coins. Recent editions include a silver coin celebrating the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, a series of coins celebrating the London Olympics or the 'Celebration of Britain' series, which symbolically presents Britain in bodily, spiritual and mental aspects.

The obverse is modified in each odd-numbered year of issue. It depicts the image of the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, wearing a crown. It also shows the face value (£50).

The reverse of each edition of the coin remains the same. It depicts the traditional figure of Britannia, armed with a trident and a shield. In addition, information about the purity and weight of the gold can be found on it.
