Britannia and Liberty 2025 1oz Silver Bullion Coin
Collaborating with the United States Mint in 2025, The Royal Mint formed a groundbreaking partnership in which Gordon Summers and Joseph Menna, the Chief Engravers of each of these mints, collaborated on a coin design for the first time.
The masterfully crafted design unites the national symbols of Britannia and Liberty in a physical representation of the ‘special relationship, a phrase coined by Winston Churchill in 1946, shared between the United Kingdom and the United States.
In 2025, the figures representing fortitude and freedom return to bullion, underpinning the national identities of both the UK and the US. Inspired by the concept of court cards, Britannia and Liberty share equal prominence in this masterfully crafted year-dated design that represents the skill and experience of each Chief Engraver.
The Britannia and Liberty bullion coin is also available struck in one ounce of gold.
- Limited mintage of 50,000 silver bullion coins
- Individually packaged in a single coin capsule
- Struck to The Royal Mint’s bullion standard
How are bullion prices calculated?
The 'buy' and 'sell' prices shown on the website represent the market value of raw vaulted metal in an 'unallocated' form. This is the standard way prices are quoted throughout the bullion industry. In order for The Royal Mint to deliver beautifully crafted precious metals products to your address, or to our vault, a number of processes must take place, all of which incur a cost. These processes include transportation, refining, minting, quality checking and merchandising.
The price at which The Royal Mint is able to sell bullion products to consumers is therefore made up of the 'spot price' (the buy price) plus an additional premium. The premium accounts for the costs incurred in manufacturing a particular product and is usually either a percentage of the buy price or a fixed monetary amount. In short, manufactured bullion products always sell at a premium to enable retailers and manufacturers to cover their costs.
Can I spend/pay using my bullion coins?
All UK coins, whether circulating or non-circulating, are authorised as “legal tender” by Royal Proclamation, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1971.
Legal tender allows UK coins to be accepted for payment of debts in court – but, only circulating legal tender coins are designed to be spent and traded at businesses and banks. The Royal Mint creates commemorative and bullion coin series to celebrate key moments or individuals, and these are treasured for their collectable and aesthetic value, or purchased for investment opportunities. However, these non-circulating, commemorative and bullion coins are limited edition and will not enter general circulation – meaning banks and businesses are not required to accept them.
