2017 Great Britain 2 Pound 1-oz Silver Britannia NGC MS69 First Releases - White

Hoist the Sails -- It's the 20th Anniversary of the Silver Britannia!

Britannia, the embodiment of a nation and icon of maritime sovereignty, 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 Great Britain's Britannia bullion coin series since 1987. Philip Nathan's design of Britannia walking along a wind-swept shore, trident in one hand with branch and shield in the other, won "Coin of the Year" honors in its premier year. Originally starting as a gold bullion series, silver Britannias started production 10 years later in 1997 with the same breathtaking design.

Now, this iconic silver series is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the 2017 1-oz Silver Britannia. Each is minted in one ounce of 99.9% pure silver and is legal tender two pounds sterling. The brilliantly struck and beautifully detailed Britannia herself is featured on one side while a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II graces the other.

Your 2017 Silver Britannia will also arrive with several incredible features:

• Your coin will be graded Mint State-69 (MS69) by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections -- well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series.
• Your Silver Britannia will also be certified First Releases (FR) by NGC, meaning that your coin was among the first struck by the mint and was certified within the 30 days of issue.
• Your coin will be sonically sealed in an acrylic case with white display core -- giving you the best in protection while giving you clear sightlines and perfect visual contrast for every beautiful detail.

This favorite of collectors around the world is met with high demand year after year. Don't miss out on your chance to own this momentous year in Silver Britannia history -- order yours today!
