The Uncirculated Silver Britannia 1 oz 2014 Horse Privy is a silver coin we can never keep for too long. At only 1,000,000 minted, by the Royal Mint in 2014, collectors and investors are after this speciality coin without fail. The Uncirculated Silver Britannia 1 oz 2014 Horse Privy was minted to attract serious collectors and to provide a different Britannia coin, without breaking the design of the original. The rim is smooth, containing small galloping stallion privy marks neatly dispersed. This coin is .999 pure silver and is in brilliant uncirculated condition, with possible milk spots to be expected. This coin will come packaged in a secure coin flip to protect that beautiful BU patina.
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. The goddess is always seen wearing a lightweight drape, that billows in the wind and enhances her slender yet strong frame. The Corinthian helmet graces her head, she is ready for battle at any given moment. The reverse also bears the inscription, "one ounce fine silver," and "2014."As an effigy, Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse of this silver Britannia. The famous side portrait that has been used for many coins is perfected on the silver Britannia. The Queen is accompanied by the coin's legal tender, "2 pounds," and a Latin saying, ""Red Fid Def." It is appropriate that the Queen and Britannia share a coin together since both are honored as Defenders of Britain.
