🇬🇧 Britannia 1/10 oz gold coin 2011 – Classic design with traditional gold alloy
The 1/10 ounce gold coin “Britannia” 2011 was minted by the Royal Mint and belongs to the classic phase of the series, when the traditional gold alloy was still in use. This issue combines historical symbolism with a proven material composition and presents the well-known motif in a compact format.
The obverse features the portrait of Elizabeth II in a finely detailed depiction. The linework is clear and calm, allowing the facial features to stand out precisely. Surrounding inscriptions include the name of the Queen, the denomination, and the country designation, ensuring clear official identification.
The reverse shows the standing Britannia holding a trident and shield. She symbolizes protection, stability, and the maritime strength of United Kingdom. The design is structured and balanced, ensuring that the motif remains clearly recognizable even in this smaller denomination.
The coin is made of 1/10 ounce of gold with a fineness of 916.7/1000. The total weight is approximately 3.41 grams, corresponding to the traditional Britannia alloy. The slightly reddish tone of the gold results from the addition of other metals and gives the coin its characteristic appearance.
Overall, the 1/10 oz Britannia gold coin 2011 represents a compact yet traditional issue with a clear and balanced design.
