This coin happens to be the largest and purest legal tender minted from Great Britain. It is comprised of 95.8% silver with the rest being cooper. </span><span style="color: #1A1A1A">Most other silver coins minted in Great Britain have a lower purity of silver. This coin is guaranteed to have one full ounce of fine silver.</span></font></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; <font size="2"><span style="color: #1A1A1A">The 2010 reverse design of the Silver Britannia was created by Suzie Zamit. It depicts Britannia as a strong, courageous looking figure exhibiting a serene, confident expression. She is wearing a helmet with a lion integrated into the design. The lion happens to be Great Britain’s national symbol of </span></font></p><p>&nbsp; <font size="2"><span style="color: #1A1A1A">courage. This is a departure from previous designs, as Britannia bears a striking resemblance to the USA’s own Miss Liberty.</span></font></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; <font size="2"><span style="color: #1A1A1A">Britannia is an ancient term for Great Britain and also a female personification of the island. </span><b>Suzie Zamit</b> says: “Britannia is a really important British icon and I wanted to create a design that represents her as a symbol of British liberties and democracy. I felt it was important to portray Britannia as strong -- almost Amazonian -- and courageous, but not overly warlike, more peaceful and protective.”</font></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; <font size="2"><span style="color: #1A1A1A">The obverse features the profile of Queen Elizabeth II, with the coin’s legal tender value of 2 Pounds inscribed across the bottom. This coin is larger than US silver coins and is impressive to hold and behold.</span></font></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; <font size="2"><span style="color: #1A1A1A">[FONT=&amp;quot]Anyone who collects coins should have this fascinating fine silver coin in their collection today even if you’re not an avid coin collector.[/FONT]</span></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
