Another coin of the "Spirit of the Nations" series!   This commemorative coin was issued in memory of Queen Elizabeth II, who died on 8 September 2022 at the age of 96, after a reign of 70 years. No queen and no king had ruled Britain for longer. At just 25 years of age, the monarch of the Windsor family succeeded her father on the throne. The coin is made from 1 ounce of pure silver in the highest mint quality polished tin and is strictly limited to just 200 pieces worldwide. The coin is decorated with a special 'space' colour technique and gold.  Britannia is a very popular buillon coin. Minted by the British mint - The Royal Mint. It is guaranteed by the British government and is a fully fledged means of payment in the UK. The first silver Britannia was struck in 1997. This year's version was struck from 1 ounce of 999 silver. The reverse is decorated with the unchanging personification of Great Britain, which dates back to Roman times. In the Victorian era and during World War I, this image served as an anthropomorphisation of the British nation and for the propaganda purposes of Entente. The obverse is modified in every odd year of its publication.
