Save Britannia

Please promote and support our campaign...

The Save Britannia website site has been set up to persuade the government and Gordon Brown in particular, not to scrap Britannia from our fifty pence piece.

This is another example of the deliberate erosion of our Britishness, our heritage and our culture.

This is one step too far in that process, and we urge everyone to make a stand against this NOW.

It may only be a coin today, but we must draw the line somewhere and make our voices heard.

We urge you to visit our website, sign the petition and use the resources we are making available to fight this campaign.

Let's show Gordon Brown what we think...

Save Britannia!

Read the Government's response

The e-petition asking the Prime Minister to "to Keep Britannia on the 50 pence piece" is ongoing. This is a response in advance of the closing date from the Government

In 2005, with the approval of HM The Queen, the Royal Mint launched a national competition inviting the public to submit proposed new designs for the lower-denomination coinage. This was a one-off exercise designed to engage the British people in the heritage of our coinage, and received an excellent response.

As people will see when the new mint run is issued, the chosen designs represent the best traditions of British coinage. They are totally in line with the Government's desire to celebrate our British heritage, including our historic national and heraldic emblems.

This is not the first occasion that the Britannia design will not have appeared on the 50 pence piece. For example, it was absent on last year's mint run celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Victoria Cross - replaced with the image of a soldier carrying a wounded colleague from the battlefield. As on previous occasions, the traditional Britannia design will return in future mint runs.

50pence - epetition response

There won't be a 50p in the future, as these cocks know.
