2015 Britannia Silver 1oz - Uncirculated

The United Kingdom's flagship 1oz Silver Coin, the Britannia, is much like our own Lady Liberty...a physical embodiment of all of the history, culture, hopes, hearts and future of a nation. While she has been an integral part of English coinage design since the age of the Roman Empire, it was in 1997 that she took on a feature role as the mainstay on the Silver Britannia coinage issued each year... and she certainly did so in style! When it comes to World Silver, you cannot go wrong with the 2015 Silver Britannia in striking Brilliant Uncirculated condition!

The Silver Britannia is one of the most sought after issues each year, and they typically have mintage figures that blow our Silver Eagles out of the water...case in point: they made a maximum of only 100,000 coins per year from 2004-2012, while The United States Mint had produced anywhere from 8.8 to over 39 Million Silver Eagles each year during that same time frame! That's up to 400 times rarer! When you take into account how many coin collectors there are in the United Kingdom (well over a Million), it is a wonder they even have enough coins left to sell to collectors in the rest of Europe and the United States.

Each 2015 Silver Britannia is made out of pure .999 silver from the Bank of England and is in stunning brilliant uncirculated condition...but it was not always this way! From 1997 until 2013, the Silver Britannia was minted from .958 Silver and was considered to be the "oddball" Silver Bullion coin owned by many collectors...starting in 2014, all 1oz Silver Britannias are minted from .999 pure silver in order to remain competitive with the other World Silver Bullion producers (like USA, China, and Canada.)
