About the Silver Britannia
The Silver Britannia is the United Kingdom's flagship silver bullion coin, produced by the Royal Mint since 1997. It features Britannia, the ancient goddess-warrior symbol of Great Britain, on the reverse and a portrait of King Charles III on the obverse. At .999 fine silver, it meets IRS purity standards for IRA inclusion. Like the Gold Britannia, the Silver Britannia is UK legal tender (GBP 2 face value), making it Capital Gains Tax exempt for UK investors — a significant financial benefit. The design has evolved over the years, with notable updates to the Britannia portrait in 1997, 2013, and subsequent years. Philip Nathan's depiction of Britannia striding forward, with Union Jack shield and trident, is the most widely reproduced. Silver Britannias offer competitive premiums in the UK and European markets. They are available in 1 oz and fractional sizes. For UK investors seeking silver with CGT exemption, the Britannia is the natural choice.
