About this coin
Britannia
The Royal Mint's silver Britannia was first issued in 1997. Until 2012 it was struck in Britannia silver (95.8%); since 2013 it has been 99.9% fine.
Recent coins carry advanced anti-counterfeiting features. As UK legal tender with a £2 face value, Britannias are exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents, which is a big reason for their popularity in Britain.
