The obverse of the silver bullion coin features the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. It is the fifth coinage portrait to be used on UK coins.
The text reads:

The reverse design on this silver Britannia is the iconic 'standing Britannia' by Philip Nathan. It shows Britannia holding a trident and shield. The text reads:
BRITANNIA 2021 1oz 999 FINE SILVER
This 2021 silver coin has the addition of new security features. 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.
