1oz Royal Mint Silver Britannia Coin (2026)

The 2026 Silver Britannia 1 oz Coin is a British investment silver coin, minted by The Royal Mint. You'll benefit from advanced security features that allow you to verify the coin’s authenticity.

For more than 1,100 years, The Royal Mint has combined tradition and innovation to create beautiful, secure and trusted coins. In 2025, Britannia continues to lead the way in defining security in the bullion market. This latest incarnation of the icon combines Philip Nathan’s 1987 interpretation with four pioneering security features to create one of the most visually secure coins in the world. These additions have been applied to both decorate the coin and make it secure, just as the micro-text that borders the design states – ‘DECUS ET TUTAMEN’, which translates as ‘an ornament and a safeguard’. In the lower part of the design, below Britannia’s flowing gown, a trident represents the icon’s maritime history. As the viewer changes their perspective of the coin, the trident turns into a padlock that emphasises the coin’s secure nature. Surface animation reflects and represents the movement of waves behind Britannia and tincture lines highlight fine details such as the Union flag on Britannia’s shield. 

This one ounce silver coin includes four security features as does the one kilo silver edition of the coin; these features are also available on various gold and platinum editions of the coin.
