Collectable one-ounce silver 2018 Britannia with limited edition Oriental Border detail. These investment coins from The Royal Mint feature a reinterpretation of the classic design by Philip Nathan, marrying historic symbols of Britain with Chinese-inspired design. On the reverse, Britannia stands proud against. strong wind, her trident in an outstretched arm and her shield and olive branch in the other. The motif is set on a textured sunburst motif and surrounded by a decorative border - exclusive to these issues and inspired by the Chinese-themed rooms at Buckingham Palace and the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. The obverse features Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, set against a guilloche background. These pre-owned 2018 999 silver coins are struck to the same specifications as their standard bullion counterparts, but it's the Oriental Border that has made them a favourite with stackers and collectors.
