Queen Elizabeth II has been featured on many coins from the Commonwealth of Nations. As the years pass and bring about an older appearance, the Queen has always been realistically pictured as she is. This isn't to embarrass her but rather celebrate her maturity and how long she has reigned. On the obverse of your Britannia, she sits to the side so her lovely profile is enhanced. Her famous crown bears weight on her well-known curls and she stares into the distance with regal confidence. Accompanying the Queen is the coin's denomination of "2 pounds," and a short Latin saying, "Red Fid Def," meaning Defender of the Faith. Britain's Defender of the Islands stands silently on the reverse side, her trident aloft and her shield resting at her feet. Britannia has been the reassuring face to Britain and has been honored by having her portrait on British coinage since Roman times. The goddess is always seen wearing a lightweight drape, that billows in the wind and enhances her slender yet strong frame. The Corinthian helmet graces her head, she is ready for battle at any given moment. The reverse also bears the inscription, "one ounce fine silver," and "2022." Embrace the modern classic of Britannia and enjoy the long-loved history that comes with it!
According to British tradition, giving someone a silver token to celebrate a special occasion is a sign of good luck and bestows blessings on the recipient. There is history to prove the celebratory act, whether it was for a new birth or a wedding. Mark this year as special by giving your 2014 Britannia to a loved one. Nothing helps one remember a significant moment more than having a tangible, prestigious coin in their hands. Collect each year to signify memorable moments and know you are keeping old, British tradition alive. The silver Britannia series also makes the perfect collection to brag about and take pride in.
