2012 Britannia Four Coin Silver Proof Set BR12SS

Four-coin silver proof Britannia sets, issued in 2012 by The Royal Mint. These highly collectable British coin sets feature 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz Britannias, all dated 2012. Like all Britannias issued in this year, the reverses of these coins show Philip Nathan's classic 'standing Britannia' design, along with the date and composition. This motif was used on the first Britannias when this range was introduced by the UK's national mint in 1987. The obverses of all four coins features Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the face value, ranging from £2 to 20p. The coins in these 2012 sets are struck in 958 (95.8% pure) silver, as was standard for early silver Britannia issues. The following year (2013) the specification was changed to 999 (99.9%) silver. In total, the four coins in each set offer 57.50 grams of pure silver. Just 2,595 silver Britannia sets were released in this year by The Royal Mint and ours come in their original presentation packing with a certificate of authenticity enclosed. Please note that these sets are pre-owned and the images on this page are stock photographs. The coins in your 2012 Britannia set may display toning which is a natural process that affects many UK silver proof coins.
