Britannia Silver

British silver bullion Britannia coins were introduced in 1997. Up until 2013, the coins were struck from Britannia silver (0.958 fine). In 2013, this changed to 0.999 fine silver.

These coins have a face value of £2 and contain one troy ounce of silver. We believe we are the best place to buy silver Britannias in the UK with our bullion prices hard to beat and a huge selection of backdated Britannia coins.

These Royal Mint coins contain the enhanced security features which appeared on last year's coins.

Britannia Monster Box

The Britannia silver monster box contains five hundred troy ounces of silver. Within the box are 20 tubes, with each tube containing 25 coins. The monster box is handy for storing and protecting your coins.

Obverse

The obverse bears the Jody Clark portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II. This is the final time the portrait will appear on the Britannia coins, as it will eventually be replaced by the new King Charles III effigy by Martin Jennings.

The text on the coin reads:

ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 2 POUNDS

Reverse

The reverse features the iconic 'standing Britannia' by Philip Nathan. It shows Britannia holding a trident and shield. The text reads:

BRITANNIA 2023 1oz 999 FINE SILVER

There are several security feature on the coins. These include a small latent image on the bottom-left. Acting as a hologram, it changes between a trident and a padlock, depending on the angle the coin is held.

A micro-text border is also used. It says "DECUS ET TUTAMEN", which translates to “an ornament and a safeguard".

The field now features surface animation - micro-waves which create lines, showing a pattern in the background. Tincture lines have been added to show colours and patterns on the metal.
