The Silver Britannia Legacy
Since its debut in 1997, the Silver Britannia has represented British sovereignty, strength, and security. The design was originally introduced on gold coinage in 1987 and adapted to silver bullion in 1998. Earlier coins were struck in .958 fine silver until 2012; since 2013, the Royal Mint has refined Britannias to .999 fine silver purity.
This fractional 1/4 oz version offers collectors and investors a more accessible entry point into the series — perfect for building a diversified silver portfolio or commemorating the reign of King Charles III.
