Get Both 2023-Dated Queen Elizabeth II & Charles III Britannia Coins In This Two-Piece Set!

Britannia, that ancient warrior queen who defended Britain’s shores from invasion and oppression, is back on the British Royal Mint’s annual Britannia Silver Bullion Coins. And this two-piece set available here represents key first and last issues of the series—one coin is the last to feature the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the other is the first to feature the effigy of King Charles III, which replaced The Queen’s portrait that was struck to start the 2023 series.

The Royal Mint’s Iconic Symbol Of Britain

The embodiment of a nation and icon of maritime sovereignty, Britannia 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 the United Kingdom’s Britannia bullion coin series since 1987. Philip Nathan’s design of Britannia standing unwaveringly on a wind-swept shore, trident in one hand with branch and shield in the other, won “Coin of the Year” honors for its debut. Originally intended as a gold bullion series, the Silver Britannia coins were added to the annual production 10 years later in 1997 with the same breathtaking design. These gorgeous silver bullion coins each come minted in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver ready to make them stand out in your collection! Plus, both coins will come sonically sealed in a beautiful two-coin holder and encapsulated with a special Big Ben label.

Enhanced And Improved Security Features

Each coin in this offer was struck by the artisans of the Royal Mint and comes graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in gleaming Brilliant Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, meaning that your coins will be as sharp and crisp as the day it left the mint with superb details and beautiful, lustrous finishes. In addition, NGC has certified that these Britannia coins are First Releases (FR) specimens, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of the series’ release. They will come in a two-coin holder and encapsulated with a special Big Ben label.

The Mint has also gone to great lengths to assure collectors of the provenance of these coins with not one, but FOUR security features. These added security features both decorate and protect the coin. They include:

  • In the lower left hand of the design, below Britannia’s flowing gown, is a trident to represent her naval history. Depending on the angle at which it is viewed, the trident becomes a padlock to emphasize the coin’s secure nature.
  • Surface animation reflects the movement of waves.
  • Fine details like the Union flag on Britannia’s shield have been carefully highlighted in the coin’s bullion finish.
  • Micro-text that borders the design states: “DECUS ET TUTAMEN,” which translates to “an ornament and a safeguard.”

Fans of British history, coin collectors and silver stackers alike will all be vying for Britannia’s attention. Make sure she finds her way into your collection; order one—or several—of these exquisite coins today!
