Description
In 1987, the Britannia coin program was launched with the release of a gold bullion coin, as a response to other popular bullion coin programs like the Gold Krugerrand, American Eagle, and Canadian Maple Leaf. In addition to the 1 oz version, fractional Britannia coins are also available. The Royal Mint expanded the program in 1997 by introducing a silver version of the acclaimed design, followed by the platinum edition in 2018.
Crafted from the highest quality .9995 fine platinum, this coin showcases the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the face value of 100 pounds. It also features the guilloché background design. On the reverse, the coin displays Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in British history, along with the coin’s denomination of 100 pounds. Its diameter of 32.69mm and thickness of 2.79mm make it a substantial and impressive piece to hold.
Not only is this coin a beautiful work of art, but it is also a smart investment choice due to its high platinum content and rarity. As one of the most sought-after precious metals in the world, platinum’s value has only increased in recent years.
