2003 1 oz Uncirculated Silver Britannia

Many silver coin collectors look for specific traits in a series, when deciding to start a new collection. The coin's silver purity, the coin's mintage, the condition of the coin, and where the coin was minted. The silver Britannia series satisfies every desire of a collector in one swoop. The very prestigious and historical Royal Mint started this series in 1997. Every coin is .999 fine silver and in brilliant uncirculated condition, although the attentive eye will notice the proof-like features on the Britannias. The Britannia's mintage changes yearly but never exceed 127,000 coins. In 2003, 73,271 Britannias were minted, making it difficult for the coin collector looking to complete their collection. If stored properly, this series is one that will last and make a fantastic addition to any coin collection.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is featured portrait on all bullion coins from the Commonwealth of Nations, including Britain. Many sculptors have been offered the honor the create a realistic side portrait of the Queen to be featured on these coins. In 1997, Ian Rank-Broadley designed a very realistic portrait that celebrated and highlighted the Queen's maturity in years. This design has graced obverse bullion coins ever since and is a respectable way to honor the Queen. Written on the obverse is the coin's legal tender, "2 pounds," and "Red Fid Def." "Red Fid Def," is a shortened Latin saying meaning Defender of Faith. The reverse design is an up close shot of Britannia's stunning face and heavy bronze helmet. Her helmet was designed out of Corinth, Greece and has the classic long projection over the neck. Written on the reverse are the words, "Britannia, 2003, one ounce fine silver." Every odd year, the Royal Mint changes the reverse design from the standard standing Britannia. Whether you are looking to buy silver online as an investment or for a collection, the silver Britannia can be the right fit for your needs!
