| 2009 Britannia - Chariot Design
This design has been used twice before (1997 and 1999)
Here is a proof 1997 version.
I honestly would prefer to see new designs every year like with the Pandas, Kangaroos and Kookaburras.
But seeing as I don't have a 97 or 99 Britannia...I will be buying this in proof when it is released.

Hey, Randy, if you are looking for any of these, just drop me a line. I have a friend who has a whole collection of these plus other world silver coins that he is trying to sell. I don't know if he had this exact date, but I know he has a near complete collection of these. I am supposed to get with him this weekend over his house to pick out some of these that I want to buy off of him. If you are looking for a date, just drop me a pm.

He has them from England, Australia, Mexico and China.... at least those were the ones I were interested in and didn't pay attention to the others, if there were any. He may have some Chinese and Australia 1/2 oz silver bullion pieces but I believe that was it, but I will check this weekend. I spoke with him tonight and I am looking to meet up with him this weekend. Unfortunately, I don't have money either and don't get paid for another two weeks. I need to go out and pimp myself!

Regrettably we do not offer an annual ordering system for the Britannia coins. We anticipate release of the coins to be in July. When released they will be advertised in our brochures and on our website.
Kind regards |
