The 2012 1oz Silver Britannia Bullion Coin is the final standard bullion issue struck in .958 Britannia silver before the series moved to .999 fine silver. That transition makes the 2012 coin an important closing date for the original silver Britannia composition.
The reverse features Britannia with her trident and shield, while the obverse carries Queen Elizabeth II's portrait. The coin retains the traditional Britannia silver fineness that defined the early bullion series from its beginning.
For date-run collectors, the 2012 issue marks the end of the first major Silver Britannia bullion era and pairs naturally with the 2013 coin, which began the .999 fine silver period.
