2019 Great Britain Gold & Silver 3-Piece Set NGC PF70UC One of First 150 Struck

2019 Gold & Silver Britannia Proofs Commemorate Trio of Numismatic Anniversaries!

Following their conquest of the British Isles in 43 A.D., the Romans named their new province “Britannia” – a Latinisation of Pretanī, the native word for the island. With that name came the female personification of the island, a warrior goddess armed with a trident, shield and Corinthian helmet. While Great Britain continues to change and evolve, the figure of Britannia still stands tall, representing the ideals of pride, fortitude and progress. In 2019, Britannia reigns supreme once again on the Royal Mint’s latest Britannia Proof Series that features a new, one-year-only design.

This year’s portrait of Britannia is not only a stunning portrayal of the warrior queen, it’s also a tribute to a series of key milestones in British numismatic history. The design depicts Britannia on the coin’s reverse as an armed warrior leading a fierce lion into battle. It’s a 180th anniversary reimaging of the famous “Una & the Lion” design that appeared on an 1839 coin honoring the coronation of Queen Victoria. The young queen was depicted on that coin as Princess Una from Edmund Spenser’s poem The Faerie Queen. This year also marks the 1,900th anniversary of the first time Britannia appeared on Roman coinage in 119 A.D. Additionally, 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth, giving this year’s release not one, not two, but THREE milestone anniversaries in one fell swoop!

Great Britain’s Royal Mint introduced its premier Gold Britannia bullion series in 1987 and followed it up 10 years later with the Silver Britannia series in 1997. Today, the Britannia coins are among the most premier names in precious metal coinage. And while the bullion edition of the Britannia has kept its same design since 2013, each year brings an exciting new design to the Britannia Proof releases – and this year is no different! With a new contemporary design by one of England's rising young artists, we're proud to bring you this 2019 Great Britain Gold Britannia Three-Piece Gold & Silver Proof Set!

The three coins in your set include:

• A Quarter-Ounce Gold Proof. Struck in 99.99% gold, it is from a limited edition of just 1,100.
• A One-Ounce Silver Proof. Struck in 99.9% silver, it is from a limited edition of just 5,200.
• A One-Ounce Silver Reverse Proof. Struck in 99.9% silver, it is from a limited edition of just 700 reverse proofs. To achieve a Reverse Proof effect, a coin is struck with frosty fields and shimmering details – the opposite of a traditional proof finish that has mirrored fields and frosted details.

Each coin in your 2019 Britannia Three-Piece Gold & Silver Proof Set has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means each perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!
