Britannia – Symbol of Britain’s Strength

Introduced in 1997, the Silver Britannia features Philip Nathan’s iconic standing Britannia, the personification of national strength and maritime heritage.

• Obverse (Varies by Year): Features the royal effigy of Queen Elizabeth II (Raphael Maklouf, Ian Rank-Broadley, Jody Clark designs) for coins up to 2023, with the new King Charles III portrait by Martin Jennings appearing on late-2023 and later strikes. The obverse also lists face value and issuing nation “· 2 POUNDS ·”.

• Reverse: Showcases Britannia holding a trident and shield, with inscriptions “BRITANNIA”, year, weight, and purity. Coins dated 2021-present incorporate cutting-edge security: a latent image that shifts between a trident and padlock, micro-engraved wording, wavy background lines, and tincture lines on the shield.

Investment & Collector Appeal

Silver Britannias offer a respected way to diversify into government-backed bullion with a low premium and global recognition.
