	Britannia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Britannia remained the Latin name for Great Britain, but after the fall of the Roman Empire it had lost most symbolic meaning until the rise of British influence and later, the British Empire, which at its height, ruled a quarter of the world's population and a quarter of the world's landmass.
		In the Renaissance tradition, Britannia came to be viewed as the personification of Britain, in imagery that was developed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
		Britannia first appeared on the farthing in 1672, followed by the halfpenny later the same year; the model used, then and later, was Charles II's mistress, the Duchess of Richmond.

		Sterling silver was approved again for use by silversmiths from 1 June 1720, and thereafter Britannia silver has remained an optional standard for silver assay in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

		Britannia appears on the pennies struck between 1797 and 1970, but with the introduction of decimalization, Britannia was moved to the 50-pence coin, where she has remained since 1969.
