Description: 2017 Britannia Gold Gilded Siver Coin 1 oz. The 20th anniversary of the British Silver Britannia The British Silver Britannia coin is the official bullion coin for the United Kingdom, with depictions of the country’s monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, on one side and the guardian of the British Isles, Britannia, on the other. The term Britannia was originally used by the Roman Empire to label the British Isles as a territory of the empire itself, and was at one time used to describe the people themselves. More recently in human history, Britannia was a goddess believed to guard the isles from outsiders. On the reverse side of the coin, you’ll find Britannia’s figure holding a shield with the Union Jack flag on it to guard the seas and a trident in her right hand to ward off invaders. The obverse side of the 2017 1 oz British Silver Britannia Coin shows the latest effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty has been featured on the obverse of British coinage since her ascension to the throne in 1952, and this is the latest update to her portrait. Created in 2015 by Jody Clark, it now appears on all British coins. British Silver Britannia coins are struck by the Royal Mint, the official sovereign mint of the United Kingdom. Founded in the 7th century, this is Europe’s oldest operating mint facility continuously in operation.
