One of my favorite silver coins, is the silver Britannia. These coins have a mirror finish on them, that looks amazing.
First minted in 1997 by the Royal Mint, the Britannia has been minted every year since. Coins minted from 1997-2012 only contained .958 silver and had a limted mintage. After 2012 the silver Britannia's where minted with .999 silver and had a unlimited mintage based on demand.
Obverse side features, Queen Elizabeth II
Reverse side features the standing Britannia.
All 1oz Britannia's carry a 2 pound sterling face value. They also have a milled edge.
History and facts,
Silver Britannia's have been produced each year beginning in 1997, when silver proof set was offered. In 1998 and in all subsequent even number years the reverse design has depicted the standing Britannia figure. Beginning in 1999 and continuing in odd number years, a series of alternate non repeating depiction of Britannia have replaced the standing figure on the reverse side. Starting in 2013, the proof version of the coin will feature a different design each year, while the bullion version of the coin will always feature the classic standing Britannia. While mintage was limited prior to 2013, in 2013 and after mintage of the bullion version of the coin is unlimed bassed on demand.
The name Britannia comes from the indigenous people of Britain.
