One Ounce Silver Coins
Following the success of the Britannia gold bullion coins introduced in 1987, the Royal Mint started in 1997 to produce a one ounce silver Britannia coin with a face value of two pounds (£2).
The silver Britannias are, quite appropriately, struck in Britannia silver, which is 958 parts per thousand silver, instead of the more usual sterling silver of 925 parts per thousand. Many other world silver coins, particularly those of American influence are struck in only 900 silver.
The concept of the one ounce bullion coin was to provide an easy way to purchase convenient small quantities of bullion silver in the form of coins.
Additionally, the new one ounce coins, are an attractive design, made to appeal to collectors.
The denomination, or face value, is two pounds.
Fourth Portrait
From 1998, as with all British coins, the obverse design changed to the "fourth portrait", showing a more mature likeness of The Queen.
The reverse type for 1998 is the standing Britannia as used on the gold Britannias for most years from 1987.
