2016 Britannia One Ounce Silver Bullion Coin
Complete your set of one ounce silver Britannias with this 2016 edition. Our one ounce Britannias are second-hand, bought from reputable sellers and carefully authenticated by our expert team. Because they're pre-owned we can offer them under the VAT Margin scheme, meaning you get a better price for a like-new coin, graded Extremely Fine or better. Silver Britannias issued since 2013 are made of 99.9% fine silver. 1oz coins like this 2016 edition have a total weight of 31.21 grams and a diameter of 38.61 millimetres, making them slightly smaller but significantly finer than earlier coins issued in this series, all of which offer exactly one ounce of pure Ag. The obverse shows Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, introduced the previous year. This is the fifth and final effigy of Her Majesty seen on her UK coinage, used until her passing in 2022. Clark's work is paired with another iconic modern coin design: Philip Nathan's standing Britannia. Britannia is the female personification of the British Isles and has been a feature of our coinage since Roman times. In 1987, The Royal Mint launched a line of bullion coins, named after the warrior goddess. Early issues featured Nathan's Britannia, holding her trident and union jack shield, her hair and classical garb blown back by a strong coastal wind. On this edition a textured background field has been included as a security measure. It's an attractive investment piece that will make an excellent addition to your stack.
