The Royal Mint introduces the smallest United Kingdom coin ever minted , as part of its 2014 Britannia Gold and Silver Proof Collection. The beautiful coin, weighing just one fortieth-ounce and measuring a delicate 8mm wide, depicts an elegant yet powerful interpretation of Britannia by Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark. The intricate design features an art deco inspired yet modern interpretation of Britannia, standing proudly in front of a globe, accompanied by a lion, with its tail draped protectively around her feet. Since her debut on Roman coins nearly 2,000 years ago, artists have used various symbols to convey Britannia’s virtues. The trident and spear represent might, balanced by delicately draped robes, or an olive branch for peace. The stunning contemporary design for 2014 by Jody Clark revisits this tradition. Jody Clark explains: “In approaching my design I started by researching what had gone before. Britannia has appeared in so many different compositions and with such a variety of symbols, I wanted my design to recall her history and tradition but with the elements surrounding Britannia, rather than weighing her down.

Confetti rain on marching Filipino UN Peacekeepers as they are given a heroes welcome Wednesday, Oct.1, 2014 at Camp Aguinaldo at suburban Quezon city northeast of Manila, Philippines.

Aquino III said Wednesday hundreds of Filipino peacekeepers were tasked to guard a buffer zone separating Israel and Syria. But when the current Syrian conflict spilled over into the buffer zone and anti-government Islamic militants started attacking the Filipino peacekeepers, their mission became unclear.
