Discover the Timeless Appeal of Royal Mint Silver Britannias
A Journey Through History and Art with Texas Precious Metals
Welcome to Texas Precious Metals, where history and artistry come together in the form of the Royal Mint Silver Britannias. These coins are more than just a piece of silver; they are a testament to a rich heritage and a symbol of British strength and unity. With each coin containing one troy ounce of .999 pure silver, they are a tangible connection to the past, offering both beauty and historical significance.
The Royal Mint Silver Britannia has a storied past that dates back to 1797, when the iconic figure of Britannia first graced the coins of the realm. This powerful symbol of liberty and unity has evolved over the centuries, but its core message remains the same. Commissioned by the Royal Mint in 1987, the current design by sculptor Philip Nathan captures Britannia in all her glory, standing firm with her trident, shield, and olive branch. It’s a portrayal that balances strength with elegance, a fitting tribute to the enduring spirit of the British Isles.
On the reverse side of the coin, you’ll find Nathan’s masterful depiction of Britannia. Her flowing robes and battle helmet are captured in exquisite detail, embodying both the nautical heritage and the protective nature she represents. The coin’s specifications, ‘Britannia 2015 1 Oz 999 Fine Silver,’ are framed by a bold line and a waffle trim, adding to its distinctive appeal.
Flip the coin over, and you’ll be greeted by the traditional effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, this portrait shows the Queen at 70 years old, wearing her crown with dignity. The inscription ‘Elizabeth II D G REG FID DEF,’ meaning ‘By the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith,’ encircles her image, reinforcing the coin’s status as legal tender with a face value of 2 pounds.
