Discover the Timeless Elegance of Royal Mint Silver Britannias
A Journey Through History and Art with Texas Precious Metals
When you hold a Royal Mint Silver Britannia in your hand, you’re not just holding a piece of silver. You’re holding a slice of history, a work of art, and a symbol of British heritage. These coins, available through Texas Precious Metals, are a testament to the rich narrative of the British Isles, encapsulated in one troy ounce of .999 pure silver.
The Britannia design, commissioned by the Royal Mint in 1987, showcases the artistic prowess of sculptor Philip Nathan. His creation on the coin’s reverse is nothing short of iconic. Britannia stands with poise, her robes flowing gracefully in the wind, as she grips her trident—a nod to her maritime roots. Her shield and olive branch speak to peace and protection, while her helmeted gaze over her right shoulder exudes strength and vigilance.
On the obverse, you’ll find the dignified portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, crafted by Ian Rank-Broadley. This depiction of Her Majesty at 70 years old, with her crown prominently displayed, is more than just an image—it’s a celebration of her legacy. The coin’s edge features an intricate waffle trim, framing the inscription ‘Elizabeth II D G REG FID DEF,’ which translates to ‘By the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith.’
One of the fascinating aspects of the Royal Mint Silver Britannias is their guaranteed legal tender status, with a face value of 2 pounds. This adds a layer of authenticity and recognition, making them a cherished possession for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
