Contains 1/4 Troy oz of .999 pure silver in BU condition.

Issued a face value of 50 Pence by Britain.

The obverse depicts King Charles III.

On the reverse is an effigy of Britannia.

The 2026 1/4 Silver Britannia Coins feature a portrait of King Charles III on the obverse. This left-profile effigy depicts His Majesty without a crown and represents the first official portrait of him to appear on British coinage. The design was completed in late 2022 by sculptor Martin Jennings.

The reverse side of the 2026 British Silver Britannia includes the image of Britannia, a symbolic figure representing the nation. This design was created by Philip Nathan in 1987 and shows Britannia in a classical appearance. She is illustrated in a wind-blown garment and Corinthian helmet, with a trident in one hand and an olive branch resting on a shield that carries the Union Jack emblem.

The first British coin to feature Britannia was the copper farthing issued in 1672 during the reign of Charles II. The design showed Britannia as a helmeted female figure holding a spear and shield, seated beside the sea, and was created by engraver John Roettiers based on a design that may have used the Duchess of Richmond as a model.
