Information about Silver Britannia 1 oz PF - 2024

The proud figure of Britannia has represented Britain for centuries, symbolizing values important to the nation such as strength, resilience and bravery. The Romans made Britannia a symbol of Britain, and she was first depicted on coins around 119 AD during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the figure disappeared, but reappeared in Elizabethan times and became the symbol of British naval power. In 1987, the Gold Britannia was minted for the first time. At the time, it was the first European bullion coin made of gold. The face value of the Britannia gold coin is denominated in British pounds. It is considered official currency in Great Britain. In addition to the Britannia gold coin, a Britannia silver coin has also been issued since 1997.

The proof (PF) finish is particularly sought after by collectors and is one of the most elaborate methods of producing a coin. The silver Britannia 1 oz PF - 2024 is limited to a mintage of only 3,500 pieces and comes in the original coin case with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

The design of the silver coin

For the design side, award-winning French author and illustrator Marie-Alice Harel has created a modern interpretation of Britannia. The figure floats above an approaching wave, which flows into her feathered helmet to represent her historical connection with the sea. In addition to the year of issue “2024”, the lettering “BRITANNIA” and the purity and fineness “1oz 999” are also depicted on the design side. The value side of the coin shows the portrait of King Charles III. Around the portrait is the inscription “CHARLES III D G REX F D”, meaning CHARLES III DEI GRATIA REX FIDEI DEFENSOR (Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith). There is also the face value “2 POUNDS” and the initials “MJ” of British sculptor Martin Jennings, whose portrait of King Charles adorns the value side.
