Coins in this series are housed individually within protective plastic
flips. - The obverse of the coin features a right-side portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
by Jody Clark. The monarch wears her Royal Diamond Diadem and earrings.
Her name and an abbreviation of her Latin title, "ELIZABETH II D G REG F
D," are inscribed along the rim, combining with the face value of the
coin, "2 POUNDS," to encircle the portrait. - The reverse depicts Britannia standing on Great Britain's
shores, armed with a trident, an olive branch and a patriotic shield.
Inscribed "BRITANNIA," "2022," "1 OZ" and "999 FINE SILVER." Four
innovative anti-counterfeit devices are included within the classic
design: a meticulously detailed line texture upon Britannia's shield, a
circular latent emblem that alternates between a trident and a padlock,
an attractive light-refracting, stippled background wave pattern, and a
thin frame encircling Britannia that is inscribed repeatedly with "DECUS
ET TUTAMEN," which translates from Latin as a phrase declaring its
literal purpose as "an ornament and a safeguard." - Silver Britannia coins debuted in 1997 exactly one decade after the 1987
introduction of the Gold Britannia coins. The Silver Britannia
originally featured a unique silver fineness of 95.8% silver. This was
the case for all coins dated 1997 to 2012. Beginning in 2013, the Royal
Mint boosted the silver content to the modern bullion standard most
coins use of at least .999 pure silver content. - Find more in our World Silver Category.
