Description
2025 Great Britain Silver Britannia 50 Pence - 1/4 oz - BU
Britannia Silver Bullion Coins were first minted in 1997 and struck every year since. Britannia has assumed the status of an immortal having been an enduring feature of British coinage for almost 300 years. The Silver Britannia has a purity level at .999 fine and are minted at The Royal Mint. In 2021, the British Royal Mint added four new design elements as additional security features. The first element is a special wave design on the coin's background, which catches the light on the coin's surface. The second element is the addition of smooth lines on Britannia's shield. The third is a holographic image of a padlock in the bottom left, which transforms to a trident when you tilt the coin. Lastly, the almost imperceptible Latin phrase "Decus Et Tutamen" along the inner rim of the coin.
