2003 Silver Proof BRITANNIA 4-Coin Set

The set, comprises four denominations: £2, £1, 50p and 20p – all struck to Proof standard in Britannia Silver – They are Britain’s purest Silver coins. The reverse of each bears Philip Nathan’s new Britannia design bearing representation of the head of Britannia wearing a helmet, a traditional attribute, and an indication that she is not defenceless.

Britannia’s intricate flowing hair and beautifully composed face are fine examples of the minter’s art while a superimposed wave alludes to Britannia’s maritime heritage. The crenellated border and vertical lettering are consistent with Nathan’s earlier coin designs. The obverse of the coin bears Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of the Queen.

To further enhance the beauty of this collection, each coin is struck using a combination of two very special Proof finishes. The obverse is struck in the familiar Proof finish where the reverse features an exquisite Satin Proof finish
