Add one of the scarcer modern Britannia variations to your collection with the Britannia Horse Privy 2014 1oz .999 Fine Silver Bullion Coin – The Royal Mint. Struck from 1 Troy Ounce of .999 Fine Silver, this special edition combines the internationally recognised Britannia design with a distinctive Year of the Horse privy-marked edge.

Issued by The Royal Mint in 2014, this unusual Britannia was created to celebrate the Chinese Lunar Year of the Horse. Rather than altering the famous Britannia artwork on the face of the coin, The Royal Mint incorporated the special design into the coin's edge, where eight Horse privy symbols can be found.

With a reported mintage of just 4,500 coins, the Horse Privy edition is considerably scarcer than the standard annual Britannia bullion issue. These coins were also not generally distributed for sale within the UK, adding another point of interest for British Britannia collectors.

The reverse displays Philip Nathan's iconic standing Britannia, one of the most recognisable designs in modern British bullion. Britannia stands proudly holding her trident in one hand and a shield bearing the Union Flag in the other, representing Britain's strength, resilience and maritime heritage.

Around the outer design appear the inscriptions BRITANNIA, 2014, 1oz, 999 FINE SILVER, confirming the year, precious metal weight and purity.

What distinguishes this release is its unusual privy-marked edge. Eight Horse symbols appear around the rim in celebration of the 2014 Lunar Year of the Horse, transforming what initially appears to be a standard Britannia into a considerably more unusual collector issue.

The obverse bears the fourth definitive portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, together with the £2 denomination, confirming its status as official United Kingdom legal tender.

Containing 1 Troy Ounce (31.1035 grams) of pure silver with a total weight of approximately 31.21 grams, the coin is struck to a fineness of .999 silver.

As an official UK legal tender coin produced by The Royal Mint, Silver Britannias are also exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents, adding further appeal for British precious metal investors.

The combination of the classic Britannia design, unusual Horse privy edge and exceptionally small 4,500-coin mintage makes this a particularly interesting issue for anyone building a collection of Silver Britannias, Lunar-themed bullion or harder-to-find Royal Mint releases.

Bullion & Condition Information

These are older 2014 bullion coins and should be purchased primarily for their precious metal content and collectable Horse privy variation.

Coins may display contact marks, light scratches, handling marks or natural toning acquired during minting, tube storage, transportation or subsequent storage. These characteristics are normal for bullion coins of this age and do not affect the coin's stated silver content or authenticity.

The Horse privy symbols are located around the edge of the coin, so they may not be immediately visible when viewing the obverse or reverse.
