Philip Nathan's standing Britannia design depicts the figure of Britannia holding a trident and Union Flag shield, symbolising Britain's maritime power. The inscription reads 'BRITANNIA · 2012 · ONE · OUNCE · FINE · SILVER ·'.
The obverse of this 2012 coin features Ian Rank-Broadley's royal portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, together with a legend that reads 'ELIZABETH · II · D · G · REG · FID · DEF ·', with '2 · POUNDS' below.
2012 was the final year in which silver Britannias were struck in 958 (95.8% fine) silver, also known as Britannia silver. This coin is made of 958 silver with a proof finish, while those struck in 2013 were made from 999 silver.
Just 2,450 of these one-ounce silver proof coins were issued in this individual presentation by The Royal Mint in 2012, though more were available in limited edition four-coin 2012 silver Britannia sets.
This pre-owned 2012 1oz Britannia comes in the original box with a certificate of authenticity enclosed, which doubles as an information booklet, packed with details about the Britannia series and its history.
