These coins are part of a short series with themed borders issued by The Royal Mint between 2018 and 2020. Like a regular 1oz silver Britannia, these Oriental Border coins are made from solid 999 fine silver, struck with the Mint's bullion finish. These examples are pre-owned and ready to add to your stack today.
