From Hadrian to Charles III
around119
On Roman coins
Under Emperor Hadrian, Britannia appears on a coin for the first time: a woman on rocks, with a spear and a shield, and below her the word BRITANNIA.
1672
Back on English coins
She returns on England’s first official copper coins, the halfpenny and the farthing, under Charles II. Tradition has it that Frances Stuart, a lady of the court, sat as her model.
1997
The Britannia in silver
Ten years after the gold Britannia comes the silver one, with 958 parts per thousand of silver until 2012. As early as 1697, England had prescribed exactly this fineness for silverware, which was hallmarked with a seated Britannia.
2013
In fine silver
Since then, the silver Britannia has been struck in fine silver.
2023
The King’s portrait
According to The Royal Mint, the 2023 Britannia is the world’s first bullion coin to bear the official portrait of King Charles III. The sculptor Martin Jennings called it his smallest work.
The Royal Mint in Wales
Since 1975, The Royal Mint has struck coins only in Llantrisant in South Wales. Queen Elizabeth II had opened the first phase of the site on 17 December 1968.
By its own account, it looks back on a history of more than 1,100 years.
Every year, an independent jury tests the weight and fineness of its coins at Goldsmiths’ Hall in London, during the Trial of the Pyx.
“Steadfast in the eye of the storm.”
This is how The Royal Mint describes its Britannia.
In fine silver.

Technical specifications at a glance
Each individual coin in this bundle impresses with flawless quality. The diameter of 22 mm sits comfortably in the hand, while the fineness of 999/1,000 stands for the purest silver. The year of issue 2026 and the "Brilliant Uncirculated" condition guarantee you new goods in impeccable condition.
Silver coins like the Britannia have proven themselves as a reliable store of value over centuries. Industrial demand for silver – particularly in electronics, solar technology, and medicine – ensures stable baseline demand. At the same time, supply is limited, which supports long-term value stability.
Don't forget the tax advantages
A particularly attractive aspect: profits from the sale of silver are generally tax-free, provided you hold the coins for at least one year. This regulation makes physical silver one of the few asset classes with this privilege.
