The history of the British Silver Britannia is a unique one among major bullion collections. While the gold coins debuted in 1987, the Silver Britannia didn’t debut until a decade later in 1997. From 1997 to 2010, the Royal Mint used alternating designs of Britannia on the reverse.
During that same period, three different portraits of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II featured on the obverse. The shortest-lived was Raphael Maklouf’s third-generation bust of the Queen used only in 1997. From 1998 to 2015, Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of the Queen featured and from 2016 to 2023, Jody Clark’s bust of the Queen was used.
King Charles III now features on the obverse of 2024 1 oz Silver Britannia Coins. His Majesty debuted midway through the 2023 production cycle and was created in late 2022 by Martin Jennings. This new bust of Charles III is in left-profile relief and lacks a crown.
For the reverse design of 2024 British Silver Britannias, the mint continues to feature Philip Nathan’s depiction of Britannia. A powerful female allegory, she is shown in front-facing relief as she looks to her right with a Corinthian helmet on her head, a trident in her right hand, and the Union Jack shield in her left.
These 2024 1 oz British Silver Britannia Coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are housed individually in flips, in plastic tubes for multiples of 25 coins, and in Monster Boxes for multiples of 500 coins. Each box holds 20 tubes of 25 coins.
