This special collector's coin celebrates twenty years since the introduction of the silver Britannia bullion series and features a unique trident '20' mint mark.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique 5th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, which was first introduced in 2015. This portrait features a more mature and regal representation of the Queen, with a slightly different crown and a more detailed neckline and shoulders. This design change marked a significant departure from the previous portraits of the Queen, which had been used on British coins for decades.
