History

First introduced in 1997, the Silver Britannia quickly became a global favorite, celebrated for its iconic imagery and the prestige of the Royal Mint. The series draws its name from Britannia, the female personification of Great Britain, whose image has graced coinage for centuries as a symbol of strength and national pride. Over the years, the Britannia series has evolved to include fractional weights—such as this 1/10 oz version—catering to a wider audience of collectors and investors who appreciate both beauty and accessibility. The 2026 release continues the Royal Mint’s commitment to precision and security, maintaining Britannia’s reputation as a trusted standard in silver bullion.

Design

The obverse of the 2026 1/10 oz Silver Britannia features the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings, reflecting the new era of British coinage. The reverse showcases Philip Nathan’s celebrated depiction of Britannia standing tall against the wind, holding her trident and shield—an emblem of maritime heritage and resilience. Subtle surface textures and radial lines enhance both visual depth and anti-counterfeiting security. Despite its small size, this fractional Britannia displays remarkable detail, shimmering with the quality and precision synonymous with the Royal Mint.
