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.
1282 Trial of the Pyx
Since at least 1282, the coins of The Royal Mint have been tested independently. Today a jury at Goldsmiths’ Hall in London checks that weight and fineness are correct, according to The Royal Mint for the Britannia as well.
“Steadfast in the eye of the storm.”
This is how The Royal Mint describes its Britannia.

King Charles III on the Obverse
The obverse of this impressive coin features the official portrait of King Charles III in classic side profile.

Why This Bundle Is a Smart Choice
The 1/4 oz denomination offers you maximum flexibility. Whether you're gradually building your portfolio, holding silver as a medium of exchange in uncertain times, or simply enjoying the beauty of these coins – this format adapts to your needs. Smaller units are also easier to sell if you only want to liquidate part of your holdings.
Silver has proven itself as a reliable store of value over millennia. Unlike paper money, it possesses an intrinsic value that does not depend on political decisions. Industrial demand – 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 particular advantage for German investors: profits from the sale of silver are completely tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. This makes physical silver an attractive addition to long-term wealth planning and retirement provision.
The practical coin tube optimally protects your 19 Britannia coins from scratches and environmental influences. This keeps the Brilliant Uncirculated pieces in pristine condition – ready to be passed down from generation to generation. Secure this timeless piece of British minting artistry now!
