The Spirit of a Nation

“Nearly two thousand years ago, a figure was shaped to symbolize a nation and its people. The Romans imagined a noble, graceful warrior and placed her on coins with the legend, Britannia, the new province they had claimed. Britannia has been reimagined many times and she has appeared on the coins of every British monarch from Charles II through to Her Majesty The Queen. The artists of each age have depicted her in ways that reflect the ideas and style of their time. Through every incarnation, Britannia has taken on more layers of meaning and come to embody the spirit of a nation.” “The 2020 Britannia is a revelation. Created by artist James Tottle, the new design is respectful of the past but also contemporary.”

Britannia Reimagined

As a legal tender offering by Great Britain, the obverse of this 2020 1 oz Silver Great Britain Britannia Limited Edition Proof coin displays Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, now with a clean, non-textured background. Inscriptions include “ELIZABETH II D. G. REG. F. D.” and the 2 pounds face value.

The reverse features a magnificent, reinterpreted image of Britannia. Facing the wind, she stands firmly upon the rocky shore, as strong waves crash in. Holding a trident in her left hand, and a shield emblazoned with a lion head in her right, her fixed gaze reveals her readiness for the future. The background is filled with a highly stylized Union Jack flag. Inscriptions encircling the rim include “BRITANNIA 1 oz 999 FINE SILVER.” The issue year is displayed in the flag to the right of Britannia.
