2012: 25th Anniversary CoinBritannia has assumed the status of an immortal having been an enduring feature on British coinage for more than 300 years. How appropriate that she has graced the British gold and silver bullion coins of today, first introduced in 1987, these coins were to be immediately identifiable as British. Standing proudly on the shore, hair and gown streaming in the sea breeze, Britannia portrays her links to the sea, personifying as she does the British love of all things nautical and the great pride in which we hold our naval history'. Britannia is armed with trident and shield, her love of peace symbolized by the olive branch she grasps in her left hand. Her helmet recalls her Roman ancestry, its elongated visor and plume giving her an elegance and grace that in no way detracts from her inherent strength.
This 25th Anniversary Silver Britannia £2 coin is struck in .958 'Britannia' silver, it contains a full ounce of fine silver and remains one of the most popular coins for collectors and numismatics. The reverse of the 2012 coin features Philip Nathans' breathtaking portrait of Britannia framed in the crenelated border peculiar to the Britannia coins. |
