The 1 troy ounce Silver Britannia coin weighs 31.103 grams and contains 99.9% pure silver. Known for its refined detail and elegant design, the Britannia has long been a favorite among both investors and collectors. It is issued by The Royal Mint, one of the world’s oldest and most respected mints, and is recognized globally as a reliable and liquid silver bullion coin.
Since 2013, the Silver Britannia has been minted annually in 99.9% fine silver by The Royal Mint in London. Each coin is legal tender in the United Kingdom with a nominal face value of £2, though its intrinsic silver value is much higher.
The various years Britannia coins are acquired through the secondary market, making them more attractively priced than the newest 2025 edition, which comes directly from The Royal Mint. These coins are issued between 2013 and 2024, and the exact year of issue will be supplied at random. Regardless of the year, all 1 troy ounce Silver Britannias have the same buyback value, making them an excellent choice for silver investors.
These coins are also exempt from 21% VAT. Because they have previously circulated and are carefully sourced from private and institutional sellers, you benefit from a sharper, VAT-free silver price. This makes the Silver Britannia one of the most cost-effective ways to invest in physical silver.
The Silver Britannia was designed by Philip Nathan, who reinterpreted the ancient Roman goddess Britannia — a personification of the British Isles first depicted on Roman coins in 119 AD. On the reverse, Britannia holds a trident in one hand and a shield bearing the Union Jack in the other. The inscriptions include “Britannia”, the year of issue, the weight “1 oz”, and “999 fine silver”.
The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II (2015–2023) or King Charles III (2024–2025), along with the coin’s nominal value of £2. The actual silver value, however, is significantly higher than its face value.
The Britannia’s intricate design makes it highly resistant to counterfeiting. Since 2021, The Royal Mint has introduced several advanced security features. A holographic image below Britannia alternates between a trident and a padlock depending on the viewing angle, while a wave-patterned background symbolizes Britain’s maritime heritage and enhances the coin’s visual security.

People think of silver as the poor man's gold, which is absolutely the wrong way to look at it. Gold has the most monetary character, but silver moves in times when a financial system is under pressure, at least as much as gold.
Silver is a commodity and monetary metal. Gold and silver have related to each other to some extent over a long history; This is called the gold-silver ratio. Silver has not been this cheap in 25 years compared to gold.
