These coins are manufactured by the Royal Mint.
Design of the British Britannia Coin
The British Britannia silver coin is the official silver coin of the United Kingdom. The front of the coin features the official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles III. Each coin has a legal tender value of £2, which means that they are backed by the government of the United Kingdom to a value of 2 Pounds Sterling each.
The reverse side of these coins features an image of Lady Britannia standing, looking over her shoulder. She carries a trident in one hand. In the other are an olive brand and a shield with the Union Jack pattern on it. These coins contain 999 fine investment-grade silver bullion. The image of Lady Britannia is not new and was first used on coinage during the Roman Empire.
History of the Britannia Series
The Royal Mint's Britannia series was first released in 1987 in gold. The silver Britannia coin was issued 10 years later, in 1997. Lady Britannia is a national symbol of the United Kingdom and she represents resilience and strength. She has been an icon of the British Isles that has been personified on British coins since the Roman times. Since the coin was first released during the Roman Empire, the portrayal of Britannia has often been used to depict the nation's mood and values. Sometimes she is a warrior queen and other times a peace-bearing figure. Her changing representation has marked significant shifts in national consciousness. The image of Lady Britannia used on the series currently released by the Royal Mint depicts Lady Britannia as a protectorate, and her primary role is in protecting the nation.
