2023 Great Britain £2 1-oz Silver Britannia King BU

The First Britannia Silver Bullion Coins To Feature King Charles III!

Britannia, that ancient warrior queen who defended Britain’s shores from invasion and oppression, is back on the British Royal Mint’s annual Britannia Silver Bullion Coins. And these coins available here represent the first issue of the 2023 Britannia series to feature King Charles III. The new design replaces the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, that was struck to start the 2023 series.

The Royal Mint’s Iconic Symbol Of Britain

The embodiment of a nation and icon of maritime sovereignty, Britannia has symbolized Britain for centuries, appearing on coins dating all the way back to the Roman Empire. More recently, her name and image have graced the United Kingdom’s Britannia bullion coin series since 1987. Philip Nathan’s design of Britannia standing unwaveringly on a wind-swept shore, trident in one hand with branch and shield in the other, won “Coin of the Year” honors for its debut. Originally intended as a gold bullion series, the Silver Britannia coins were added to the annual production 10 years later in 1997 with the same breathtaking design. The gorgeous silver bullion coin comes minted in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver ready to make her stand out in your collection!

Enhanced And Improved Security Features

Each coin in this offer was struck by the artisans of the Royal Mint and comes in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, meaning that your coin will be as sharp and crisp as the day it left the mint with superb details and beautiful, lustrous finishes. The Mint has also gone to great lengths to assure collectors of the provenance of these coins with not one, but FOUR security features. These added security features both decorate and protect the coin. They include:

• In the lower left-hand of the design, below Britannia’s flowing gown, is a trident to represent her naval history. Depending on the angle at which it is viewed, the trident becomes a padlock to emphasize the coin’s secure nature.
• Surface animation reflects the movement of waves.
• Fine details like the Union flag on Britannia’s shield have been carefully highlighted in the coin’s bullion finish.
• Micro-text that borders the design states: “DECUS ET TUTAMEN,” which translates to “an ornament and a safeguard.”

Fans of British history, coin collectors and silver stackers alike will all be vying for Britannia’s attention. Make sure she finds her way into your collection; order one—or several—of these exquisite coins today!
