Resurrecting the original Britannia design, the Royal Mint has decided to keep the reverse design of the impressive coin series the same. Britannia has been the face of hope, for Britain, ever since the Roman times. She is respected as the Defender of the Islands and her image has graced the face of many coins since. The esteemed sculptor, Philip Nathan, designed the first Britannia for the series in 1987 and that design has struck a cord in the heart of Britain. The icon, Britannia, is pictured in her most ideal stance, whilst holding her trident and shield firm. She is portrayed as Britain's eloquent protector guarding its shores, inspired by Britain's maritime heritage. An inscription bears the coin's weight and date of mintage, perfect for marking a special occasion with this spectacular coin. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is revealed on the obverse, along with the coin's denomination and a Latin saying that describes the Queen perfectly, "Red Fid Def." The translation of this saying is "Defender of the Faith."
The Royal Mint has produced these impressive Britannias since 1997 and every coin has a special meaning. The 2006 Silver Britannia is .999 fine silver and displays the "just struck" look of the outstanding Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The 2006 Silver Britannia is smartly packaged in a coin flip, to ensure protection as it travels to you. The release of the Britannia has become an annual tradition and encourages you to collect one every year. Giving the gift of a silver coin wishes good luck and blessings on its recipient and is the appropriate gift for life's special moments. Whether you are looking to buy silver online for yourself or for a loved one, the silver Britannia fits the bill!
