2015 1 oz Silver Britannia – .999 Fine Silver

Overview

The 2015 1 oz Silver Britannia, struck by the Royal Mint, represents one of the United Kingdom’s flagship bullion releases. With a composition of 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and legal tender face value of £2, this coin blends both bullion-investment value and trusted mint heritage.

Historical & Series Background

The Britannia coin series has a rich lineage: first appearing on UK coinage in Roman times and revived through British coinage over centuries. The modern Silver Britannia bullion line began in 1997, but from 2013 onward the silver fineness was upgraded to .999 (99.9 % pure) and the diameter reduced to 38.61 mm for the 1 oz version.
In 2015, the Britannia continues the legacy of the British personification of strength, freedom and national identity—depicted with shield, Corinthian helmet, trident and olive branch. This dual-appeal coin is sought by both savvy bullion buyers and astute collectors.
