The iconic 2008 1oz fine silver Britannia coin is a must have for any Britannia coin collector or silver stacker. This beautiful silver coin features the majestic design of the legendary Britannia facing out toward the sea in her customary protective stance.
The obverse features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and has the face value of £2, two pounds.
For the 2008 silver Britannia coin, artist John Bergdahl reinvented the classic standing Britannia’ designed originally by Philip Nathan decorating most bullion Britannias since they were first issued. Berghdahl’s Britannia remake retains the same basic composition but with a stunning updated touch. The Britannic Goddess holds her trident aloft backdropped against a rearing wave. Her union jack shield rests by her side while behind her, in the distance, stands a lighthouse, to signify her dominion over the seas.
