2021 Great Britain Gold & Silver Britannia 3-pc Proof Set NGC PF69UC First Day of Issue

Gold & Silver Britannia Proofs Return With New One-Year-Only Design for 2021

Great Britain’s Royal Mint introduced its premier Gold Britannia bullion series in 1987 and followed it up 10 years later with the Silver Britannia series in 1997. Today, the Britannia coins are among the most premier names in precious metal coinage. And while the bullion edition of the Britannia has kept its same design since 2013, each year brings an exciting new design to the Britannia Proof releases — and 2021’s edition is no different! With a new contemporary design, we’re proud to bring you this 2021 Gold & Silver Britannia Three-Piece Proof Set!

Britannia Stands Steadfast Against the Changing Winds

The new one-year-only design for 2021 was created by artist P.J. Lynch and displays a proud Britannia steadfastly facing the wind. She holds her trident and shield in her left hand while her right hand embraces the British Lion. It’s a wonderful design in a set that consists of a pair of one-ounce coins struck in highly pure 99.9% fine silver — one a Proof and the other a Reverse Proof coin — plus an additional quarter-ounce gold Proof struck in 99.99% pure gold.

The gold proof in this set is £25 (twenty-five pounds) legal tender in the United Kingdom and is from a limited edition of 1,155 coins. Both silver proofs are £2 (two pounds) legal tender with the proof coming from a limited edition of 4,960 coins and the Reverse Proof from a mintage of just 690. A Reverse Proof differs from a regular Proof coin in that instead of beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, it features mirrored details rising over frosted fields.

Flawless Proofs From Among the First Issued!

Plus, each coin in this set has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless proofs showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. In addition, NGC has further certified that that each proof in this this set is a First Day of Issue (FDI) coin, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Also, the population of coins labeled “First Day of Issue” is only a fraction of the total mintage.

Like the others that came before them, the coins in this 2021 Gold & Silver Britannia Three-Piece Proof Set still stand tall, representing the ideals of pride, fortitude and progress — an enduring symbol of British strength. Whether you’re new to the Britannia series or a longtime collector, coin fanatic or Anglophile, this vision is one worth bringing home. And with so few coins available, you’ll need to act fast to guarantee you get your Britannia Proofs! Don’t miss this opportunity — order yours today!
