Silver Coin 1 Oz Britannia UK 2021 proof

The Britannia investment coin has been the pride of The Royal Mint for over thirty years. Its design changes regularly and the year 2021 is no exception. You can admire the new relief on the one troy ounce silver coin in top quality proof.

Britain is famous for strong women. Just think of Queen Boudica of Iceni, who led the Celtic Revolt against the Roman invaders, Queen Elizabeth I of Tudor, who defeated the unsinkable Spanish Armada, Queen Victoria of Hanover, who made her country an industrial superpower, or the current Queen Elizabeth II of Windsor, who is the longest reigning monarch in the history of the island kingdom. It is no wonder, therefore, that the allegorical personification of Great Britain also takes the form of a woman - the goddess Britannia, who has nurtured and empowered her nation for two thousand years. Because it is a powerful symbol known to people all over the planet, Britannia has become a major motif on British investment coins.

The reverse side of the coin, the design of which was created by illustrator P. J. Lynch, is dominated by the kneeling figure of Britannia. The fierce woman, traditionally armed with a trident, helmet and shield, is accompanied by a lion as a symbol of courage. The obverse side of the coin bears the attributes of the issuer - i.e. the nominal value of 2 POUNDS (GBP), the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the text 'ELIZABETH II D G REG F D' (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith).

Each coin comes in an elegant box with a certificate of authenticity.
