Discover the Timeless Elegance of Royal Mint Silver Britannias
A Journey Through History with Every Coin
Have you ever held history in your hands? That’s exactly what you experience with the Royal Mint Silver Britannias. These coins are not just pieces of silver; they are a bridge to the past, a connection to centuries-old stories of British heritage. The Britannia, a symbol of liberty and unity, has graced British coinage since 1797. Today, collectors and enthusiasts alike continue to appreciate this iconic figure for both its artistic beauty and its rich historical significance.
At Texas Precious Metals in Shiner, Texas, we offer the Royal Mint Silver Britannias with pride. Each coin contains one troy ounce of .999 pure silver, making it a substantial and valuable addition to any collection. But more than its silver content, it’s the story behind the coin that captivates. Commissioned by the Royal Mint in 1987, the design by sculptor Philip Nathan remains a masterful depiction of strength and grace. Britannia stands tall with her trident, shield, and olive branch, embodying protection and peace.
The reverse of the coin is not just a display of artistry but a narrative of British resilience. Britannia’s flowing robes and battle helmet evoke the spirit of an island nation that has weathered countless storms. Her gaze over her shoulder, with the wind sweeping around her, suggests a readiness to face whatever the future holds. The design is framed by a bold line and waffle trim, adding a touch of elegance to the coin’s specifications.
On the obverse, the traditional effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is a nod to the continuity and stability of the British monarchy. Designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, the portrait of the Queen at 70 years old is dignified and regal. The inscription, ‘Elizabeth II D G REG FID DEF,’ reminds us of her role as a defender of faith and a figurehead by the grace of God. This side of the coin carries the face value of 2 pounds, a testament to its status as legal tender.
