999 fine investment grade silver bullion.
King Charles III edition.
Design of the 2024 King Charles III Silver Britannia Coin
The front of the 2024 Britannia silver coin showcases a portrait of King Charles III, skillfully crafted by artist Martin Jennings. Encircling His Majesty's regal visage are the coin's face value of £2 Pounds Sterling and the inscription 'King Charles III.' 2024 marks the first full year within the Britannia series to feature His Majesty, setting this coin apart as a historical collectible.
On the reverse side, Lady Britannia graces the coin, elegantly strolling along the British shores. She holds a trident in her right hand, symbolizing strength, and carries an olive branch and a shield bearing the Union Jack in the other. Surrounding her image are key details: the coin's weight of 1 ounce, its purity of 9999, the word 'Britannia,' and the metal type.
History of the Britannia Coin Series
The Britannia coin series was first released in 1986 when the Royal Mint introduced it in gold, offering both 1-ounce and fractional ounce sizes. It swiftly became a favored choice among British and European investors. In 1996, the series expanded to include silver, followed by platinum in 2016. Today, it holds the distinction of being the UK's primary bullion coin series, cherished by collectors and investors alike.
Lady Britannia's iconic presence dates back even further, with her image first appearing on Roman coinage in approximately 50 AD, during Britain's tenure as part of the Roman Empire. She symbolizes Britain's strength and protection, earning her the title of protectorate. Her enduring presence on British coins signifies her lasting significance.
Beyond the Britannia coin series, Lady Britannia graces a range of gold, silver, and platinum bars issued by the Royal Mint, a testament to her enduring popularity.
What is the Royal Mint?
The Royal Mint is the UK’s official mint, and the company boasts a history of more than 1000 years. They are responsible for manufacturing all British coins, including precious metals coins on behalf of the UK government. In addition to the Britannia series, the Royal Mint also releases a Valiant Coin, a Queen’s Beasts series, and other special edition coins. The Royal Mint also manufactures the gold sovereign coin. The Sovereign, at 7.3 grams, served as official currency when first released, although today it is only purchased for its gold content. It is the oldest continually minted bullion coin available today. The British Sovereign coin is only available in gold.
