For over 1,100 years, the Royal Mint has combined a rich tradition with cutting-edge innovation to create coins that are distinguished by their aesthetics, while being recognized for their purity and security.
The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Britannia silver coin showcases Philip Nathan’s iconic 1987 depiction of Britannia. The Roman goddess — a national allegory and the feminine personification of Great Britain — stands with poise and determination in the heart of a storm. In her right hand, she proudly wields a trident, symbolizing her strength, while her left hand gently holds an olive branch, representing peace. Encircling this striking design are the inscriptions “BRITANNIA 2026,” “1 OZ,” and “999 FINE SILVER.”
A fine micro-text along the border reads "DECUS ET TUTAMEN" (“An ornament and a safeguard”) reinforcing both the beauty and security of the coin. Beneath Britannia’s flowing gown, a trident pays tribute to her maritime heritage; when the coin is tilted, this trident transforms into a padlock, an innovative security feature highlighting the authenticity of the piece. Surface animation creates the illusion of moving waves behind Britannia, while fine tincture lines bring out exquisite details, such as the Union Flag adorning her shield.
The obverse of the coin features the elegantly crafted portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by renowned sculptor Martin Jennings. Around the effigy appear the inscriptions “2 POUNDS,” denoting its status as legal tender in the United Kingdom, “CHARLES III,” and “D.G. REX. F.D.” — a Latin abbreviation meaning “By the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.”
The Britannia 2026 bullion coin is made from one troy ounce of 999 fine silver, the highest level of silver purity available from the Royal Mint.
Prized by investors for its classic design and high purity, this silver coin is both a true work of art and a valuable addition to any investment portfolio.
