2021 British Silver Britannia Coin

The latest addition to the Royal Mint’s bullion offerings is the 2021 1 Oz British Silver Britannia Coin. The imagery of the beautiful Britannia is a time-honored tradition among coins minted with Great Britain in mind. On this coin, she is depicted in a flowing dress, holding a trident in one hand and a shield with the British flag in the other. Added security measures via a brand new design help to increase the safety and value of this coin, which is already turning heads and drawing interest among investors. 

Key Features: 

• Backed by the Great Britain government and the Queen.
• Eligible for IRA precious metal self-holding.
• Obverse depiction: The face of Queen Elizabeth II, as well as the value of the coin. 
• Reverse depiction: Britannia holds a trident and the shield of England, and the weight/purity of the coin is also displayed. 
• Brand new security measures to prevent counterfeiting. 
• .999 pure silver. 
• Multiples of 25 arrive in original Royal Mint Tubes. Multiples of 500 coins arrive in mint strapped Monster Boxes.

Struck by the British Royal Mint with .999 pure silver, the 1 Oz British Silver Britannia Coin is also backed by the English government. Even putting aside its value as a store of precious metal, this coin is worth two pounds, and can be used as tender anywhere within the country. As always, the coin is shipped from the Royal Mint completely uncirculated. 

A few added security measures help to make this coin an even more safe investment for the savvy bullion collector. Keeping with the strong tradition in the Royal Mint of security via intricate design, the brand new “wave design” of the coin’s surface, as well as the smooth lines making up Britannia’s shield, make the coin almost impossible to counterfeit. Finally, a brilliant shifting holographic image makes an appearance on the bottom of the coin, making replication nearly impossible. Finally, the Royal Mint also included a Latin phrase so small in the coin that detection and replication is extremely difficult. 

Part of the mass appeal of this coin is the vast historical implications of both its design and its minting. The Royal Mint has an extensive history, with its organization having existed at the heart of the British Empire for over a thousand years. And fans of British history will have no trouble recognizing the majesty of Britannia, one of the oldest feminine depictions of Great Britain and her Majesty. 

The backing of the Royal Mint and the Queen make this coin an excellent holder of value, even without considering its intricate design and silver content. Tapping into the impressive history of both Great Britain and the Royal Mint, this coin’s brand new security features and designs make it an excellent and safe choice for any bullion collection.
