In 2005 the Royal Mint released it's Limited Issue Britannia £2 Two Pound Silver Coin struck in solid .958 Silver weighing one ounce of fine pure Silver Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as MS69.
Britannia first appeared as a provincial figure on a Roman imperial coin of the Emperor Hadrian (117-138AD). She did not feature on English coins until the issue of copper halfpennies and farthings by Charles II in 1672 but, since that time, has graced the coinage of every British monarch.
Britannia was therefore a natural choice for the new gold coins of 1987 - coins that also took her name.The 2005 Britannia £2 Two Pound Silver Coins, however, feature a new reverse design, the fifth since the Britannia bullion coins were first introduced in 1987.
Created by the award winning sculptor Philip Nathan, the design shows Britannia in a traditional pose. Seated atop a craggy rock, looking out to sea, with her robes blowing in the wind, in her right hand Britannia holds a shield, emphasising her protection of the British Isles.
The laurel bush in front of her symbolises her love of peace but her helmet and the trident clasped in her left hand, emphasise that she is not defenceless.
The obverse portrait of Queen Elizabeth II has been designed by Ian Rank Broadley.
