"Britannia is the personification of Britain in the ancient (classical) style. The model for later depictions of this type was the Roman bronze coin issues from the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. To commemorate their achievements in Britannia (e.g., the construction of Hadrian's Bulwark, Antonine's Bulwark) or in relation to this province of the empire, the reverses of conversation coins featured an allegory in the form of a personification of the province of Britannia pictured as a seated female figure leaning against a circular shield and wielding a spear or military sign (vexillum). On English coins (halfpenny and farthing) this depiction was introduced in the 17th century during the reign of Charles II, with the depiction of the figure and its attributes indicating that it must have been based on a Roman prototype. Slightly modified over time, the allegory of Britain took on particular significance during the Victorian era and during both world wars, retaining it until at least the 1950s. It played a significant role in the propaganda of the British Empire in the 1970s."
This silver bullion coin brings together two very important symbols of the United Kingdom. Since its launch in 1821, it has become a real attraction for many investors. Minted from high grade silver (999) by the Royal British Mint. It is a highly desirable investment object and a full-fledged means of payment in the UK. The diversity of the series makes the coin not readily available, and thus represents a model eagerly sought after by customers.
Royal Mint is one of Europe's oldest mints, producing coins and orders for approx. 60 countries of the world and has exclusive rights to produce pounds and national medals in the UK. It also issues many commemorative coins, both bullion and collector coins. Among the more popular editions are the silver coin celebrating the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, the coin series celebrating the London Olympics, or the "Celebration of Britain" series, which symbolically presents Britain in bodily, spiritual and mental aspects.
The obverse is modified in each odd-numbered year of issue. Features an image of Queen Elizabeth II of England wearing a crown. You can also find the nominal value (£2) on it.
The reverse of each edition of the coin remains the same. Depicts the traditional figure of Britannia, armed with a trident and shield. In addition, you can find information about the purity and weight of silver on it.
