The Silver Britannia is a bullion coin that ranks as one of the best-selling and most popular bullion coins in the world. The Silver Britannia is minted from pure 999 bullion, weighing one troy ounce. The renowned European mint, The Royal Mint, is responsible for its production. In 2021, The Royal Mint introduced new security features to its flagship Britannia. The new security features are designed to make the silver currency more attractive for investment and to reduce the possibility of counterfeiting.The new security features of the silver Britannia are:

– A radiant background, which was created by using a picosecond laser. The effect of the applied laser is visible when the coin is rotated.

– Engraved security using an angular effect, where the image changes from a padlock to a trident.

– Application of the plaster technique (on the dial). The tyncture technique consists of indicating heraldic colours by means of symbols – lines.

– The micro-engraved inscription “DECUS ET TUTAMEN”, which was made using specialised lasers and which is located above the head of the titular Britannia. The Averse depicts King Charles III of Great Britain, as designed by Martin Jennings. It also shows the face value of the coin.The Rewers depicts the traditional figure of Britannia, armed with a trident and shield.
