2024 Britannia 1/10oz .999 Silver Bullion Coin
Britannia has featured on British coins since the second century, evolving through the ages to reflect the nation and times she represents. In 1987, sculptor Philip Nathan created an iconic incarnation of Britannia for a new bullion coin from The Royal Mint.
Philip Nathan’s iteration of Britannia is both bold and beautiful, presented with specifically chosen symbols that represent and reflect the nation – a shield for protection, an olive branch for peace and a trident to represent seafaring.
The globally recognised coin design is highly regarded and only The Royal Mint is able to strike genuine Britannia coins featuring Philip Nathan’s interpretation of the icon. For 2024, the design is as beautiful as ever and features on this quarter-ounce bullion coin struck in .999 fine silver.
DESIGN
The reverse side of the coin features an image of Lady Britannia walking at sunrise, with a trident in one hand and an olive branch and shield in the other. Around the outside of the coin are the words ‘Britannia’, followed by the coin’s year of minting. The coin’s weight as well as the purity of 999 fine is also located on the outside of the coin.
The obverse of each coin features the first coinage portrait of His Majesty The King, with the coin’s face value located on the bottom right, and ‘Charles III’ located on the bottom left of the coin.
