Comment
One quarter Troy ounce fine gold alloyed with silver.The 2017 issue of the Gold Britannia introduced a sunburst effect finish to the reverse of the bullion coin. While the 2017 bullion issue had a textured obverse, this guilloche effect on the obverse has since been used moving forward.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique guilloche/sunburst design on the reverse side, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the coin's overall appearance.
