Low mintage 2019 silver Britannia, struck by The Royal Mint with a brilliant uncirculated finish. Records show that just 1,826 of these one ounce silver coins were issued in 2019, making this a scarce release in the modern Britannia series. Unusually, this edition has been made with a BU finish, which results in a uniform high shine appearance, distinct from bullion and proof issues. The reverse features a one-year-only design, created by David Lawrence and showing Britannia directing the English lion with her trident. This £2 coin is struck in one troy ounce of 999 fine silver, which will appeal to investors, while the small mintage and BU strike will appeal to collectors of the Britannia series.
