Comment
The 2017 issue of the 1oz Silver Britannia introduced a starburst effect finish to the reverse of the bullion coin. While the standard bullion issue had a textured obverse, the Trident privy mint mark issue was changed to one with a guilloche. This guilloche effect on the obverse has since been used moving forward.Trident privy mark edition:
Issued in 2017 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Silver Britannia series:
The privy mark can be found near the rim at about 7 o'clock on the reverse:
Privy marks have been added to the plain edge of the coins to commemorate the Chinese Lunar Year:
