Re: What's This?
If you look at some of the older penny coins, Britannia is shown seated. If you look on early victorian coins she is depicted seated and leaning slightly backwards. I am guessing here but it's not really too far of a move to depict her in a semi-recumbant pose. Honestly though the figure is a mystery. It may be that it pre-dates the pub and was included as a makeshift Britannia on the basis that owt is better than nowt.
