The Royal Mint’s Silver Britannia Series

The British Silver Britannia has been issued by the Royal Mint since 1997, following the introduction of the Gold Britannia a decade earlier. JM Bullion identifies it as the official silver bullion coin of Great Britain and records a significant change in the series in 2013, when the Royal Mint increased its silver purity from .958 to .999 fine silver. The standard 1 oz Britannia contains one troy ounce of silver, while JM Bullion’s catalogue also identifies fractional and larger sizes within the broader series. The reverse carries the enduring Britannia design, while the obverse reflects the reigning British monarch for the relevant issue.

JM Bullion’s current catalogue includes 2026 1 oz British Silver Britannia Coins, containing one troy ounce of .999 pure silver and carrying a £2 face value. Current issues feature King Charles III on the obverse, Britannia on the reverse and the modern security elements incorporated into the series. JM Bullion also lists Silver Britannia products in weights ranging from 1/10 oz through 1 kilo, demonstrating that the series extends beyond the standard one-ounce format. For JM Bullion UK, the Silver Britannia therefore provides a distinctly British silver bullion offering within the company’s wider international precious-metals range.
