The 2018 1/10 oz Platinum Britannia Coin is among the smaller releases under this prestigious coin program. Although this annual coin program has been featuring gold and silver variants in the past, this is the first time that the Royal Mint has struck 1/10 oz Platinum Britannia Coins.
First issued in 1987, the Britannia series of coins has a long and illustrious history. The Royal Mint's history and technological prowess further enhances the desirability of these coins.
Each of these coins is struck using 1/10 troy ounces of 0.9995 pure platinum. Moreover, they are assigned legal tender status in the United Kingdom, with face values of £10 (GBP) each.
The portrayal of Britannia, considered the guardian of Great Britain, is imprinted on the reverse sides of these platinum bullion coins. She is depicted withstanding a strong gale while the sun rises behind her and she clutches a shield and an olive branch in her hand.
On the other hand, the familiar image of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverses of these coins -- like all other legal tender coinage in the United Kingdom. The face value of the coin and the Queen's name elegantly encircle her portrayal.
