The Royal Mint silver coin Britannia 1 oz

Britannia is the first European investment silver coin, minted since 1997. The name of this British coin was given by the allegorical female figure of Britain. It represents a personified "genius loci" of (Great-) Britain. On the front is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. It contains one troy ounce of silver and has a face value of £ 2. Britannia gold comes in weights of 1oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz and 1/10 ounces. Britannia has a purity of 999.9 / 1000 in gold and 999/1000 in silver. Thanks to the motif, which changes every year, Britannie is popular among coin collectors. By stamping a denomination on the coin, it becomes official, legal tender in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. Silver Britannia is minted annually in a load of 100,000 copies.
