The 1/10 troy ounce silver Britannia coins are minted by The Royal Mint and each contain 3,11 grams of 99,9% fine silver.

In 1987, sculptor Philip Nathan created an iconic incarnation of Britannia for a new bullion coin from The Royal Mint. More than 35 years later, the design is revered as a modern classic and the Britannia coin is recognized worldwide as a flagship product of The Royal Mint.

The design features several symbols that represent and reflect the nation. For example, the design shows a shield for protection, an olive branch for peace and a trident to represent seafaring. Britannia coins also contain several security features, namely:

• Radial lines in the background of the design
• The microtext that frames the design reading "DECUS ET TUTAMEN," which translates as "an ornament and a security"
• The trident turning into a padlock as the viewer changes their perspective on the coin
• Tincture lines within the stripes of the Union Jack

The 1/10 troy ounce silver Britannia coin has a face value of 20 cents in its country of origin. The coin has a diameter of 16.50 millimeters and comes in 16 pieces in a tube. A full sample box contains 320 coins, or 20 tubes.
