This is the first time that the 1,100 year-old Royal Mint’s classic 1 oz Silver Britannia has been embellished with a symbol from the Chinese lunar-solar calendar. It is also the first time that this coin has carried a design around its milled edge.
Royal Mint Chief Engraver, Gordon Summers said “Our main challenge in developing the Lunar Britannia coin was incorporating the lunar symbol around the edge of the coin with clarity and quality of design, yet retaining the beauty and the impact of Philip Nathan’s Britannia figure”. And the end result? The elegantly-curled figure of a snake appears at intervals around the edge of the coin, as though standing guard over the proud Britannia, a celebration of the "Year of the Snake" in classic style.
Coin Highlights:
- Contains 1 oz of fine Silver.
