Brand new and uncirculated 2024 British Britannia Silver Coins
Design and History of the British Britannia:
The British Britannia coin series, introduced by the Royal Mint in the United Kingdom, has a rich history and a timeless design that symbolizes the strength, courage, and naval history of Britain. Originally launched in gold, this iconic series has garnered immense popularity among precious metal investors and collectors over the years. The series was later expanded to include silver variants. Today, the series is available in gold, silver and platinum in the 1 Ounce size.
On the front side of each coin, you'll find a regal portrait of King Charles III, with the coin's face value of £100 inscribed around the edge. The reverse side showcases the enduring image of "Lady Britannia." She stands proudly by the sea, holding a trident in one hand and a shield in the other, embodying quintessential British qualities of strength, wisdom, and peace.
The Royal Mint, responsible for producing both the British Britannia and British Sovereign coin series, has consistently delivered top-quality precious metal coins that appeal to investors worldwide. Notably, British investors benefit from the absence of capital gains tax when selling British Britannia coins.
In addition to the silver British Britannia, there's a range of other silver coins popular among precious metal investors, including the silver American Eagle, silver Maple Leaf, and silver Philharmonic.

The History of Lady Britannia:
The image of "Lady Britannia" has a history dating back to AD 119 when it first appeared on coins under Emperor Hadrian. While her depiction has evolved over the centuries, her symbolism has remained consistent. She represents strength, courage, peace, wisdom, and Britain's naval might, evident in the objects she holds: an olive branch, a trident, and a shield.
After a brief hiatus, Charles II revived Lady Britannia's image on coins in 1672, solidifying her enduring presence. The current rendition, created by Philip Nathan in 1987, portrays Britannia standing resolute against the wind, draped in a classical gown. Nathan's design has stood the test of time, adorning the 1-ounce 2020 silver British Britannia coin, among others, three decades later.
