2022 Great Britain £2 1-oz Silver Britannia BU
Great Britain’s Britannia Silver Bullion Coins Return For 2022!
Britannia, that ancient warrior queen who defended Britain’s shores from invasion and oppression, is back on the British Royal Mint’s annual Britannia Silver Bullion Coins. The gorgeous one-ounce silver bullion coin comes minted in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver ready to make her stand out in your collection!
The Royal Mint’s Iconic Symbol Of Britain
The embodiment of a nation and icon of maritime sovereignty, Britannia has symbolized Britain for centuries, appearing on coins dating all the way back to the Roman Empire. More recently, her name and image have graced the United Kingdom’s Britannia bullion coin series since 1987. Philip Nathan’s design of Britannia standing unwaveringly on a wind-swept shore, trident in one hand with branch and shield in the other, won “Coin of the Year” honors for its debut. Originally intended as a gold bullion series, the Silver Britannia coins were added to the annual production 10 years later in 1997 with the same breathtaking design.
Now, the Silver Britannia has returned for 2022! Each coin in this offer was struck by the artisans of the Royal Mint and comes in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, meaning that your coin will be as sharp and crisp as the day it left the mint with superb details and beautiful, lustrous finishes.
A Shining Release Celebrating Her Majesty’s Legacy
This release features the well-recognized effigy that represents the final reigning years of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her reign of 70 years marks not only the longest of any British monarch but also is recorded as the second-longest verified reign of any sovereign in history.
Queen Elizabeth II has appeared on coins from at least 45 countries, which is more than any other individual, setting a world record. This 2022-dated release marks the final year of her reign and possibly the last year this familiar effigy will ever appear on a legal tender coin.
Enhanced And Improved Security Features
The Mint has also gone to great lengths to assure collectors of the provenance of these coins with not one, but FOUR security features on its 2022 Britannia coins. These added security features both decorate and protect the coin. They include:
- In the lower left-hand of the design, below Britannia’s flowing gown, is a trident to represent her naval history. Depending on the angle at which it is viewed, the trident becomes a padlock to emphasize the coin’s secure nature.
- Surface animation reflects the movement of waves.
- Fine details like the Union flag on Britannia’s shield have been carefully highlighted in the coin’s bullion finish.
- Micro-text that borders the design states: “DECUS ET TUTAMEN,” which translates to “an ornament and a safeguard.”
Fans of British history, coin collectors and silver stackers alike will all be vying for Britannia’s attention. Make sure she finds her way into your collection; order one — or several — of these exquisite coins today!
