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.

Why This Bundle Is a Smart Choice
The 1/4-ounce denomination offers a decisive advantage over larger units: maximum flexibility. Whether you wish to sell parts of your holdings or use them as a means of exchange – smaller units allow for precise transactions. Especially in times of economic uncertainty, this divisibility proves invaluable.
Silver is convincing not only as a classic store of value. Industrial demand – from electronics to solar technology to medicine – continues to rise steadily. This fundamental demand supports the long-term value of the white precious metal. In addition, profits from the sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.
Secure Packaging for Your Assets
The 38 coins are delivered in a convenient coin tube. This optimally protects your investment from scratches and environmental influences. The compact storage saves space and allows for a well-organized storage of your precious metal holdings.
With this bundle, you are not simply acquiring silver – you are securing a piece of British history, minted with the highest craftsmanship. The Britannia has endured for generations and will continue to stand as a symbol of stability and value preservation in the future. Take this opportunity to enrich your portfolio with one of the most sought-after investment products in the world.
