The Silver Proof Britannia was introduced by The Royal Mint in 1997. Britannia is the female personification of Britain, the equivalent to Lady Liberty on U.S. coinage. She is traditionally portrayed as an armed and vigilant peace keeping warrior. A strong, patriotic leader, she represents British liberty and democracy, and is symbolic of the defense and maintenance of peaceful ideals. This 2016 Silver Proof Britannia has a face value of 2 pounds, measures 38.61mm in diameter, and is struck from 1 full Troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
The reverse, designed by Suzie Zamit, depicts Britannia wearing a draped gown and crested helmet, holding a shield and trident as she gazes over the sea, a watchful lion at her side. "BRITTANNIA," "1 oz FINE SILVER 999," and "2016" frame the stunning image. The obverse features the profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark. The inscriptions "ELIZABETH II, D.G. REG. F.D., 2 POUNDS, 2016" border her royal image.
This gorgeous uncirculated GEM Proof is well struck with superior eye appeal. Proof coins are extraordinarily detailed with a mirror-like background. This 2016 Great Britain 2 Pound 1 oz. Proof Silver Britannia coin is one of only 4,150 of the total mintage of 6,550 to be packaged in this Royal Mint Limited Edition Presentation Case.
