Two of Britain’s leading ladies – the mythical Britannia, defender of the isle, and Queen Elizabeth II – can be yours together in this unusual 2023 one ounce silver coin. What makes it unusual, other than the two powerhouses depicted on this coin? With Queen Elizabeth passing in 2022, most coins in 2023 will bear the portrait of King Charles – meaning this is a rare opportunity to add this particular piece to your collection. Britannia has been an icon of Roman and British currency, with her first appearance going all the way back to 87 AD. Owing to her Roman heritage, she is often shown in either her classic armor set or a long flowing gown as she wears in this stunning piece. She brandishes a trident and is ready to thwart any and all attackers who would land on her shores with a goal of preserving its peace (demonstrated by her olive branch). Having Britannia in your collection is a sure way to protect your hoard. On the reverse side of the coin, Jody Clarke’s famed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is a testament to one of the most powerful women in the world. Made in 2015, the portrait of the Queen captures her as she was when she became Britain’s longest ruling monarch. This coin features more than exceptional purity – it has top-notch security features, too. These include microscopic text, a latent image, and incredibly complex visuals, which make it much more visually interesting as well as incredibly secure and hard to counterfeit. With both Britannia and Queen Elizabeth united for this coin, its value is sure to go up beyond it weight as bullion silver. Due to her passing in 2022, Queen Elizabeth coins will no longer be minted after 2023; coins featuring her portrait and the year 2023 will be even more rare. 2023 1 oz British Britannia silver coin highlights. 25 brilliant, uncirculated, brand-new-from-the-mint silver Britannias in every mint-sealed tube.
