Britannia has been Great Britain’s national symbol since the 18th century. However, her story goes back much further. The Romans minted the Britannia on bronze coins in the first century AD.

The Royal Mint’s Britannia series began in 1987 with the release of its first coin in gold designed by artist Philip Nathan. A decade later in 1997, the Britannia was also struck in silver, much to the delight of collectors around the world.

The 2013 Britannia is highly favored by collectors and coin enthusiasts alike. Prior to 2013, odd-numbered years featured different Britannia designs with a purity of only .958.

In 2013, the purity was increased to .999, with the Britannia design remaining unchanged ever since. The featured 2013 Britannia is struck in 1 troy oz of .999 pure silver. The coin is absolutely pristine and arrives secured in a new direct-fit capsule.
