The Gold Britannia is the official gold bullion coin of Great Britain. First produced in 1987 by the Royal Mint, the Britannia was produced in 22 carat gold. Gold alloyed with copper upto 1989, and Gold alloyed with Silver from 1990. From 2013, the Royal Mint switched minting of the Gold Britannia to 24 carrat (999 fine Gold).

Gold Britannias are.917 Gold (22-karat Gold) and are legal tender in Great Britain. Until 1990, the Gold Britannia was alloyed with copper. However, beginning in 1990, the Gold Britannia has been alloyed with Silver, which gives the Gold Britannias issued since 1990 a lighter yellow color than the earlier Britannias. The gold Britannia is minted in denominations of 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 oz. In 1997, a silver coin was added, minted at a fine weight of one ounce. Initially, a fine content of 9 was used and has been increased to 999.9/1000 since 2013. Due to this change, the copper content of the coin has been reduced and the colour has changed from a. Gold Britannias are available in sizes as small as 1/20 oz and as large as 5 oz Gold coins. In 1997, the Royal Mint expanded this design to a Silver bullion coin known as the Silver Britannia. Over time, both the Gold Britannia and Silver Britannia have experienced changes in design and an increase in metal purity, making them major players in.

During World Wars 1&2 the British Government shipped gold bullion to pay for munitions and goods. The estimated present day value of these shipments is circa 300 Billion pounds. During both wars, some 7500 merchant ships were sunk and our research has identified more than 700 to have been specific gold & silver carriers.

Sign up today and become a member of our honorary Search & Salvage Team. All team members will participate in a competition where the winner will receive a bar of gold.
From our vast research database, we have access to invaluable information such as cargoes, wreck locations, water depths and legal ownerships. The circumstances of the sinking and location of the wreck are often further confirmed by inquest documentation and survivor accounts. Target wrecks have been grouped in clusters which allows for proximity survey and salvage operations, single mobilisation and demobilisation of survey and salvage vessels. Modern technologies such as GPS and side scan sonars provide pinpoint accuracy of target’s position. When retrieving cargoes we will use state-of-the-art Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles and other robotic tooling systems to efficiently and surgically extract and retrieve precious cargo from the hulls of the wrecks.
For Britannia’s Gold to examine and analyse the chosen shipwrecks to ensure safe and efficient forward planning of the salvage campaign, there is a requirement to pre-survey each shipwreck to assess and provide for;
a) Correct identification of targeted shipwrecks
b) The current state of deterioration of hulls and superstructures
c) Confirmation of salvage priority
d) The need for a hazardous operability (HAZOP) and hazard identification (HAZID) studies to be undertaken prior to salvage operations commencing
e) Salvage procedures to be drawn up in advance of the salvage campaign ensuring a systematic approach to recoveries and maintain safe and efficient operations
SURVEY EQUIPMENT IN USE COMPRISES OF
State of the art, purpose built Dynamically Positioned (DP) survey vessel, equipped with side scan SONAR, Work Class ROV, Observation ROV, multibeam and possibly manned submarines, all of which are operated by a team of highly trained professionals.
Each individual target is assessed upon its research, survey results, geographical position and the environmental conditions within which it lays. The targeted wrecks are not designated War Graves. However, all will be treated with respect and those wrecks known to be sensitive and specifically, to have carried evacuee children, will be avoided at all costs. As a mark of respect, a commemorative plaque will be placed at each shipwreck location upon completion of the teams operations.
Cambria Gold Britannia
Britannia’s Gold Ltd wishes to bestow the utmost respect upon the shipwrecks on which they intend to conduct salvage operations; wherever possible, surgical extraction techniques will be utilised over and above more robust methods of accessing the cargoes.
VESSELS AND EQUIPMENT TO IN USE COMPRISES OF
Salvage vessels using advanced DP (Dynamic Positioning) systems to maintain any given position and precise manoeuvrability.
High capacity commercial offshore cranes with Active Heave Compensation using Motion Reference Units to determine the vessels motion, and to keep a load held by lifting equipment motionless in relation to the seabed. Work Class Remote Operated Vehicles equipped with 7 function manipulator and 5 function grabber arms, they are able to carry out a great multitude of seabed operations at depths in excess of 5000 meters.
Underwater cameras equipped with HD colour and SIT black & white cameras as well as ‘real time’ 3D SONAR that allow the operators to see clearly through turbid waters and allow for the accurate positioning of salvage equipment on the shipwreck.
To pay for munitions and goods in both World Wars, the British Government shipped gold bullion worldwide with an estimated present day value of circa £300bn. The majority of these gold shipments were carried by the merchant fleet under Government direction. During both wars, some 7500 merchant ships were sunk with great loss of life. Of the 7500 ships lost, this research has identified more than 700 to have been specific gold & silver carriers. During World War 1, the Bank of England shipped gold worth £125bn and during World War 2 gold worth £175bn (at 2016 prices). These figures do not include other substantial shipments of precious metals, gems and gold owned or controlled by Joint Stock Banks.

10+100+Description
Britannia, the female personification of the British Isles, takes her name from an ancient term for Great Britain and has been a popular figure since the 1st century, when she was first depicted on Roman coinage under the rule of Emperor Hadrian. Illustrated as a goddess, Britannia resembles the Roman figure Boudica. Britannia first appeared on British coins in 1672, when she graced the farthing. She was a firm fixture on coins from this point onwards, appearing on pennies issued under every monarch from 1797 until decimalization, when she was chosen to appear on the 50 pence coin until 2008.
Over the years, the image of Britannia has altered slightly, with her maritime links being emphasized by switching her spear to a trident. Britannia is seen as a symbol of British unity, liberty and strength, meaning she resurfaces during particularly challenging times. Like Columbia in the U.S. and Marianne in France, Britannia becomes more prominent in times of war or when national pride is booming.
In 1987, Britannia’s image graced the new Gold bullion coin minted by the Royal Mint known as the Gold Britannia. These Gold coins have since grown in popularity as an investment and a collector’s piece. Gold Britannias are available in sizes as small as 1/20 oz and as large as 5 oz Gold coins. In 1997, the Royal Mint expanded this design to a Silver bullion coin known as the Silver Britannia. Over time, both the Gold Britannia and Silver Britannia have experienced changes in design and an increase in metal purity, making them major players in the modern coin market.
