Britannia

Britannia: this figure occurs on the seal of the BANK OF ENGLAND, and of the Commissioners of "TRADE AND PLANTATIONS."

The figure is represented on an island, seated and holding in the right hand an olive-branch, in the left a spear erect, surmounted with the cap of liberty, her arm resting on a shield charged with the union cross, and near it several bales of goods lying on the ground; over all is the legend, 'TRADE AND PLANTATIONS.'
