Why purchase this Mint Error 2021 Great Britain Silver Britannia bullion coin?
The Royal Mint of Great Britain introduced the Silver Britannia series in 1997. In 2021, the Mint added a variety of hard-to-duplicate characteristics to the bullion releases of the series to increase its security, while maintaining the inherent beauty of the Britannia design. This coin is unique, featuring a minor "struck thru" error on the reverse. This error type occurs when a coin is literally struck through a piece of foreign matter which leaves an unintended impression on the coin's surface.
- This 2021 Britannia coin is crafted from 1 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
- The coin measures 38.61 mm in diameter.
- The coin's reverse boasts a one-of a kind Struck Thru Mint Error.
- The coin represents the first release of the series to be minted with four individual, anti-counterfeit security features.
Stunning Silver Britannia Design
Obverse: An effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is located on the obverse, surrounded by the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II," "D.G. REG. F.D." and "2 POUNDS." The monarch's portrait was created in 2015 by award-winning British sculptor Jody Clark.
Reverse: The reverse image of Britannia was designed by British sculptor Philip Nathan for the 1987 Gold Britannia coin. Britannia is depicted standing, while grasping a trident, olive branch and a patriotic shield. Inscribed "BRITANNIA," "2021," "1 OZ" and "999 FINE SILVER." The anti-counterfeit devices include: a light-refracting background wave pattern, a linear texture upon Britannia's shield, an emblem that alternates appearance between a trident and a padlock, and a thin frame encircling Britannia that is inscribed repeatedly with the Latin phrase "DECUS ET TUTAMEN," which translates as "An ornament and a safeguard."
