The British Silver Britannia debuted in 1997 and through its early years, the Silver Britannia actually followed a different design path than its gold counterpart. From 1997 to 2011, the reverse image of Britannia rotated between Philip Nathan’s design from the Gold Britannia and unique designs of Britannia from various other artists. Right now, 1998 1 oz British Silver Britannia Coins are available to purchase online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 1998 1 oz British Silver Britannia Coins available here comes in a protective plastic flip. These coins represent just the second release ever for the Silver Britannia. At this point in the coin’s history, the coins boasted 95.8% silver content and had both a larger total mass and larger diameter.
The 1998 Silver Britannia was a big first in two ways. This date mark is the first in the silver series to use Philip Nathan’s modern depiction of Britannia on the reverse. It is also the first in the silver series to use the 1998 portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II from Ian Rank-Broadley. The debut release in 1997 featured Raphael Maklouf’s 1985 bust of the Queen.
In the obverse of 1998 British Silver Britannia Coins, the Royal Mint features Ian Rank-Broadley’s bust of Her Majesty for the first time. This 1998 depiction of the Queen depicts Her Majesty in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
For the reverse side of 1998 1 oz Silver Britannias, you will find the popular effigy of Britannia created in 1987 by Philip Nathan. This depiction shows Britannia standing in front-facing relief as she looks toward the trident in her right hand. She wears a Corinthian helmet on her head and clutches an olive branch in her left hand as it rests on the Union Jack shield.
