About the 1oz Silver Britannia
Introduced in 1997, the 1oz Silver Britannia has become one of the most respected silver bullion coins on the global market. Issued by the Royal Mint, it features the iconic figure of Britannia, a symbol of national strength and stability, standing with shield and trident, defending Britain's shores.
From 1997 to 2012, Britannias were minted in .958 fine silver (95.8%), also known as Britannia silver. In 2013, the Royal Mint increased the purity to .999 (99.9% pure silver), bringing it in line with international bullion standards and making it more attractive to investors around the world.
The coin's obverse has featured successive portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, and more recently King Charles III, further boosting its appeal to both collectors and those interested in modern British numismatics. Coins minted in 2023 include both monarchs due to the royal transition, making that year especially notable.
Britannias also stand out for their advanced security features. Recent designs incorporate a surface animation, latent image, micro text, and tincture lines, enhancing both visual appeal and counterfeit resistance.
Another important advantage for UK investors is that Silver Britannias are Capital Gains Tax free. As legal tender with a face value of £2, gains made when selling them are not subject to CGT. This makes them especially attractive to those accumulating large volumes of silver in physical form.
Whether you're selling older .958 Britannias or the modern .999 issues, we'll value them accurately and make the process quick and rewarding. From single pieces to monster boxes, you'll receive a reliable, same-day payment from a trusted UK bullion buyer.
