Why so many people own tenth-ounce Britannias
The tenth-ounce coin lets people buy silver in small, affordable steps, and it's a popular gift. So many sellers have a handful of single coins collected over the years, rather than a full tube.
However you collected them, we pay for the silver they contain. Ten of these coins hold the same silver as one 1oz Britannia, and we pay the same rate per ounce for both.
What is a tube of tenth-ounce Britannias worth?
The Royal Mint packs tenth-ounce Britannias in tubes of 16. A full tube holds 1.6 troy ounces of silver, and we're paying £61.71 for one today.
The 2027 anniversary coin
2027 marks 30 years of the silver Britannia. To celebrate, The Royal Mint's 2027 tenth-ounce coin carries a '30' wave privy mark and a background texture showing the anniversary number.
It's also the first tenth-ounce Britannia to carry all four of the bullion range's visual security features. Earlier tenth-ounce coins rely on a background of radial lines. Either way, we value the coin on its silver.
