Silver Britannia Coins are among the most popular coins to originate from the United Kingdom ever since they first launched in 1997. These 2019 1 oz Silver Britannia Coins celebrate the 22nd anniversary of these coins with the familiar designs that have almost become synonymous with UK bullion products. Like every annual release, these coins are struck by the famed Royal Mint in London.
Every coin contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, they carry face values of 2 GBP, indicating the full backing of the UK government and their legal tender status.
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. A trident and a shield in her hand indicates her readiness to protect the great nation of Britain from harm and is poised ready to attack if threatened.
The obverses of the coins feature the relatively new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created in 2015, displaying the creativity and talent of the artist who has captured the Queen's likeness quite accurately. In fact, Jody Clark, the artist behind the portrait, is the youngest engraver ever to engrave an official coin of the United Kingdom. Interestingly, this is only the fifth change in Her Majesty’s portrait on legal tender in the UK to date.
To guarantee these coins are not mingled with any other 2019 Silver Britannia coins, our team takes the tubes of 20 directly from a 2019 sealed Royal Mint monster box. From there, our team applies a tamper-evident seal (TEP) to the Royal Mint cap and the top of the tube. After that process is complete, we apply the MintCertified™ black labels that offer another layer of TEP security to the tube.
