Each 2016 1 oz Colorized British Silver Britannia coin in this product listing has magnificent full color finishes added to the reverse design of the coin. Britannia herself remains clad in a brilliant silver robe, while the red, white, and blue colors of the Union Jack flag on her shield have been brought to life.
Her Corinthian helmet has a beautiful gold color while her brown locks of hair blow in the breeze against a backdrop of blue. British Silver Britannia coins honor the historical belief in Britannia, a goddess who protected the British Isles from all invaders.
The reverse of the 2016 1 oz Colorized British Silver Britannia coin features the colorized image of Britannia discussed above. It includes engravings that highlight the year of issue, weight, purity, and metal content of the coin. This image was created in 1987 by Philip Nathan.
On the obverse of all 2016 British Silver Britannia coins is Jody Clark’s all-new fifth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in July 2015, it features an image of the Queen as she appears today in her sixth decade of rule.
All 2016 1 oz Colorized British Silver Britannia Coins in this listing are BU specimens. Coins in Brilliant Uncirculated condition show no signs of wear and tear, but may feature minor flaws ranging from breaks in the luster and spotted surfaces to contact marks from the striking of blanks.
The Royal Mint does not colorize its Britannia coins for sale, but Emporium Hamburg has a limited selection of 5,000 pieces that have been beautifully colorized to bring popular bullion designs such as this to life.
