The reverse, designed by John Bergdahl, shows Britannia classically dressed, her robes flowing into powerful waves, a lighthouse behind. The words 'BRITANNIA 2008' appear above with '1/10 OUNCE FINE SILVER' below.
Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse of this 2008 fractional Britannia along with an inscription that reads 'ELIZABETH · II · D · G · REG · FID · DEF ·' with the denomination '20 · PENCE' below.
While The Royal Mint's Britannias are primarily bullion coins, a small number of collectable proof coins are issued annually, including this 3.24 gram 958 silver coin, denominated at Twenty Pence in deference to its tiny size.
The Royal Mint authorised the issue of 2,500 one-tenth-ounce silver Britannias in 2008, but only 725 were reportedly issued in this individual presentation. Further coins are included in 2008 silver Britannia sets.
This pre-owned silver Britannia comes in its original packaging with its numbered certificate of authenticity enclosed, which doubles as an information booklet, packed with details on this popular UK coin series.
