Powerful Britannia Design by Jody Clark
Obverse: The logo of the issuing mint features at the top of the obverse next to an inscription of the mint’s name, “THE ROYAL MINT.” Below is an inscription of the bar’s weight and purity, “100 G 999 FINE SILVER.” At the bottom of the obverse is a wave pattern, a reference to the issuing country’s centuries-long naval dominance.
Reverse: Jody Clark’s modern take on the Britannia figure features on the obverse. She faces right, wearing a Corinthian helmet. In her hands, she holds a shield that bears the Union Jack and the inscription “BRITANNIA” and a trident. The former represents protection, while the latter indicates strength. Jody Clark is a British designer who has worked with The Royal Mint. He is best known for his Queen’s Beasts designs and his royal portraits of Queen Elizabeth II.
