The Silver Brittania coin is the Royal Mint's world-renowned bullion coin. First issued in 1997, it wasn't until 2013 that the bullion issue was struck with 1oz of .999 fine silver. This series has quite the cult following! Last year, the first 2023 Britannia release was the final Britannia coin to feature an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, while the second release revealed the new design featuring the King. This obverse featuring King Charles III's first portrait is a landmark piece, as the first coin in the series to not feature the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The reverse features the symbolic figure of Britannia standing firm against a powerful gale. This historic piece has been certified by NGC to be in MS69 condition, and it is holdered with a special Royal Mint label. The Britannia series is notorious for not grading well in 70, so an MS69 grade is exceptional. This 2023 Silver Britannia in particular is from the "Royal Succession" series, which specifies the last 500 Queen Elizabeth II and the first 500 King Charles III Britannias minted. So, not only is this an incredible First Year of Issue piece, but it was one of the first 500 King Charles III Britannias minted period. Be one of the very few to add this important rarity to your collection while it's still cheap today!
