Colorization on both faces turns a standard bullion Britannia into a display coin, and this CCB Limited Edition treatment is capped at 199 pieces. Each holds 1 oz of .999 fine silver, is sealed in a themed slab with the individual edition number printed on the label, and pairs the Britannia figure with a lion set against the Union flag.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver
- Metal Type: Silver
- Obverse Design: Colorized Britannia in red robes with trident and Union shield
- Reverse Design: Colorized golden lion standing on rock before the Union flag
Britannia is printed in full color rather than left in plain silver. She wears a crimson gown that catches the wind in heavy folds and a gold plumed helmet, gripping a gold trident upright in her right hand. Her left hand holds an olive sprig and rests on an oval shield painted with the Union flag. She stands on rough rock inside a thin gold ring, with the untouched silver field behind her showing the mint’s textured surface. Beyond the ring, a rippling Union flag radiates outward to the rim.
The lion face fills edge to edge with color. A mature male lion stands in left profile on a rocky ledge, mane rendered in layered golds and browns, tail curled behind him. The Union flag billows across the entire background in saturated red, white, and blue.
Each coin is sealed in a clear display holder over a printed insert. The obverse label reads BRITANNIA in gilt lettering above 1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER, framed by Union flags, a crown, and a view of the white cliffs. The reverse label carries the CCB Limited Edition mark with that coin’s number out of 199. Both sides of the coin remain visible through the window.
Colorization is a surface application, so leave the coin in its sealed holder to protect the finish. Editions this small tend to disappear quickly once collectors notice them.
Britannia collectors who already own the plain bullion version get something genuinely different here. Order the Lion of Britain Britannia today while numbers remain.
