Week Twenty-Five

 

Coin of the Week: Britannia Bullion Coins

One of the many bullion coin programs in the world, the Britannia is a classic. Why? Because of the popular image of Britannia that graces the reverse of the coins, and the ever changing image of Britannia as well.

The program has been going on since 1997. The silver coins bear a face value of 2 Pounds, while the gold ones bear a 100 Pounds. Here are some of the more famous designs from this popular series.
