On the obverse, the relatively new 2016 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is imprinted, showing the fine detail and creativity of the artist – Jody Clark, the youngest engraver for an official coin in the United Kingdom. Interestingly, this is only the fifth change of Her Majesty’s portrait to date.

The image of Britannia, the renowned Goddess and Guardian of Britain is featured on the reverse. She is seen looking toward the sea, fighting against a strong gale and proudly holding up a trident and a shield to protect the great nation of Britain from harm and is poised ready to attack if threatened.

First introduced in 1997 by the Royal British Mint, one ounce Britannia Silver coins quickly became a lower priced alternative to the Gold variant for people who wished to own these elegant designs without bearing the comparatively larger financial investment that Gold coins require. Hence, these silver coins provide an option of obtaining the famed Britannia design coupled with the pure Silver used to mint this coin. Investors love to add these silver coins to their precious metals portfolios to diversify them and solidify their precious metals investments.
