Information
¼ troy ounce silver Britannia coin
The Britannia coin, introduced in 1987, was designed by sculptor Philip Nathan. The design features the iconic Britannia figure with powerful symbols representing the British nation. The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Britannia with a shield for protection, an olive branch for peace, and a trident to highlight maritime tradition.
On the obverse of the 1/4 troy ounce Britannia coin, you will find the following inscriptions: "1/4oz" (weight), "999" (silver purity), "FINE SILVER" (metal type), "BRITANNIA" (coin name), and "2024" (year of issue). This side is also equipped with four advanced security features.
The reverse of the coin features an image of either Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions "50 PENCE" (denomination), "ELIZABETH II" (name of the queen), or "CHARLES III" (name of the king).
Packaging
The 1/4 troy ounce Silver Britannia coins are sold in tubes of 19 coins each, and a complete monster box contains 380 coins, equivalent to 20 tubes.

Investment score
A B-rating indicates products that are still widely recognized and tradable worldwide, often issued by reputable mints or refiners. However, the price per gram or spread is generally slightly higher compared to A-rated products. While still suitable for investment purposes, they are not the most cost-efficient option available.
Label informationProducts with an A-rating are among the most commonly traded and liquid options available. These coins and bars offer a strong balance between a competitive price per gram and a low spread, making them well-suited for investors who want to acquire physical gold or silver efficiently. Due to their global recognition, they are typically easy to buy and sell.
Een B-label staat voor producten die wereldwijd goed verhandelbaar zijn en afkomstig zijn van erkende munthuizen of raffinaderijen. De prijs per gram of de spread ligt echter doorgaans iets hoger dan bij A-label producten. Daarmee zijn ze nog steeds geschikt als belegging, maar minder optimaal voor wie puur kijkt naar kostenefficiëntie.
Products with a C-rating are primarily valued for their collectible characteristics. This may include limited editions, unique designs, or historical significance. As a result, their price is often less closely tied to the underlying metal value. These products are typically chosen by collectors rather than investors focused on efficiency.
