    They did a Twopence in 1797 only, a Penny, Halfpenny, Farthing and Third-Farthing. There is also a Groat with that reverse.

    do they come in modern bullion categories like the American gold eagles or Mexican Libertads?

    << <i>do they come in modern bullion categories like the American gold eagles or Mexican Libertads? >>



    Yes, the gold coins come in 1oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4oz and 1/10 oz. The silver coins come in 1oz and you can get proof sets with the silver coins in all four sizes, they are very nice sets with low mintages. They are called the Britannia.

    A couple of examples:

    A copper penny (1839-1860)
    image

    And a groat (through 1888)
    image

    The copper farthing and halfpenny have similar renditions of Britannia.

    Britannia got a facelift in 1860 when the copper coins were discontinued in favor of a bronze coinage. The third farthing no longer carried the Britannia rendition, but the farthing, halfpenny and penny received the new look.
    Subsequent changes: 1895 (farthing, halfpenny, penny), 1925 or 1926 (farthing, halfpenny, penny), 1937 (penny only), 1969 (50 p piece)

    There were lots of prior Britannia designs. Aethelred can take you backwards from 1838.

    Don't forget the modern 50 pence.

    No unc set for fractional but here is a LINK to a 1998 proof set.

    These sets were made in 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2003 and each of these years has a different design for Brittannia.
