Britannia Coins

This silver £2 of 2023 was issued to honour the Coronation of King Charles III. From what we understand the Mint has long ago sold out, in fact, we had to pay a little extra and search all around to get an allocation. But we believe it was worth it and you will love it! On the obverse you have the bust of King Charles III wearing his crown, only the Coronation issues will feature this bust. The reverse has his crowned cypher ‘CR III’. The coin is in choice brilliant uncirculated condition and contains one ounce of pure silver. We believe that this will become a much-wanted and difficult coin to obtain. We have them for now, but how much longer…?

The new 2023 Silver Britannia has carried on the Coronation theme, in that it will be the only Silver Britannia to carry the King’s bust wearing his crown. The Mint has improved the design by using the cross-hatch field to make the portrait stand out even more. From what we have been told the Mint quickly sold out of all the pieces they were going to strike and it is no longer available from them. We had to use a different supply to obtain ours. They are superb Brilliant Uncirculated pieces and we are sure that you will love them. Remember this is a very important one-year type coin.

We have just had our order in from the Royal Mint, we were one of the first to order so the coins we received were early strike Gem Uncirculated coins. Each Silver Britannia contains one ounce of pure Silver and has a nominal face value of £2. These are the first of a whole new series and you really should have one or more in your collection. Beautiful early strikes of the New King Charles III Silver Britannia, priced at £58.50. The King is bare-headed and his name is in English and not in Latin. We can also offer the last Queen Elizabeth II Silver Britannia in (2023) Choice uncirculated, not an easy coin to find…

Yes, we have the 2024 coins in 2023. The King Charles III Silver Britannia coins are choice uncirculated early strikes. The sort of coin which they charge extra for in the United States. But Coincraft – Britain’s Coin Shop does not charge any extra for early choice uncirculated examples, even if they are a year early. Our wholesaler did a great job of not only getting them before they were dated but choice brilliant uncirculated examples. We are offering them per one, per five, and per roll of 20 coins. Each contains one ounce of pure silver and as nice as you can get them. What wonderful holiday gifts they would make for the 2023 season, a silver coin dated 2024!

We have offered the Coronation Half Sovereign before but only in Uncirculated condition. We have just been able to buy 20 examples in Proof condition in the Royal Mint packaging. The mintage as a single coin is just 5,405 coins as the certificate states but only 2,500 available in this packaging. Remember this will be the only gold half sovereign where the King is wearing his crown. It is a very important one year type coin. And while the Royal Mint has long sold out, we are offering the 20 coins we were able to buy at the Official Mint issue price!

In 2013 the Royal Mint issued its first-ever £10 Silver Britannia, a huge 5-ounce coin. Britannia is shown wearing a Corinthian Helmet holding an owl on her knee, it is the symbol of intelligence. She is sitting on a chair holding a trident, but there is one little problem. She is dressed or partially dressed in an old-fashioned way. That means that one of her breasts has been left exposed. The Ian Rank-Broadley bust of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse. The first release of this large silver coin was sold to a marketing company in the United States, which had them slabbed. This preserves the coin from getting fingerprints, authenticates the coin, and grades it. They graded the coins (£10 face value) as being Proof 69 out of 70 and better yet they are Ultra Cameo, which is about as good as you can get. The quality is outstanding. In the slab it is a large and handsome presentation piece, we can see them displayed in the slab on your mantlepiece. Anyone who sees it will be impressed, how could they not? A huge beautiful Britannia in silver in an impressive display case and the price is right. Originally sold by the Royal Mint at £420.00.
