2001 Silver Britannia Proof Sets

New Designs for 2001
There will be a silver Britannia proof set issued this year with all four coin sizes. Silver Britannias were only issued starting in 1997, and are normally only issued in the full size One Ounce version. Only in years when there has been a design change have silver proof sets been issued. The three smaller sized silver Britannias are only issued in these "new design" years, although the 1/10 ounce 20 pence proof coin is also available separately as in the 10 ounce silver proof £2 coin. The two intermediate size coins are only available as part of a complete silver proof set.

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.

New Reverse Design for 2001
The reverse type for 2001 is new. Britannia is be shown standing, accompanied by a lion, similar to the Una and the Lion reverse used on the very rare 1839 £5 gold coins.
According to the Royal Mint:-

This year's Britannia Gold and Silver Proof and Silver Bullion coins bear an exciting new reverse design, the third image of Britannia by Philip Nathan.
The 2001 design combines Britannia with the British Lion and, to make Britannia even more British, depicting her dress and helmet as North European in style rather than South European.
The vertical form of the figure of Britannia is matched by the lettering, giving the name Britannia, the weight of the coin and the date 2001. The design is anchored by the lion as the two figures move purposefully forward with a sense of unity and inseparability. The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Her Majesty the Queen with the legal tender value of each coin below the portrait.
