The legendary figure of Britannia has symbolized Britain’s strength and integrity on coinage since Roman times. Historically the coin was minted from .958 fine silver, purer than the .925 sterling silver standard for most British coins. Beginning in 2013 the coin is now struck to the same .999 fineness of American silver eagles. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is displayed on the obverse along with the monetary denomination.
