Silver Britannias have been released each year beginning in 1997, when a silver proof set was offered. In 1998 and in all subsequent even-numbered years the reverse design has depicted a standing Britannia figure. Beginning in 1999 and continuing in odd-numbered years, a series of alternate, non-repeating depictions of Britannia have replaced the standing figure on the reverse.
Starting in 2013, the proof versions of the coin feature a different design each year, while the bullion version of the coin will always feature the classic standing Britannia.
The half ounce versions have the same reverse design as the one ounce version, the only difference being the inscription marking the weight. |
