The 2026 British Britannia Silver Coin is the latest release from the Royal Mint, continuing one of the most iconic bullion coin series in the world. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the Britannia combines outstanding design, rich history, and trusted investment value.
Introduced in 1987, the Britannia series quickly became a hallmark of British coinage. Originally issued in gold, it was later expanded to include silver and platinum. Today, Britannia coins remain a cornerstone for both collectors and investors worldwide.
The obverse features the official portrait of King Charles III, alongside the coin’s face value of £2. The reverse depicts Lady Britannia, designed by Philip Nathan, standing by the sea with a shield and trident. Her image symbolizes the strength, courage, wisdom, and maritime heritage of Britain.

The figure of Britannia first appeared on coins in AD 119 during Emperor Hadrian’s reign and was reintroduced under Charles II in 1672. Through centuries, her depiction has evolved but her symbolism remains unchanged: she represents Britain’s enduring strength, naval power, and wisdom.
Philip Nathan’s 1987 design, showing Britannia standing resolute against the wind, has become one of the most recognizable coin motifs worldwide and continues to define the Britannia series today.
