| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, fourth definitive portrait as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The truncation of the bust is inscribed with the initials IRB. The encircling legend identifies the monarch and her titles, with the denomination incorporated within the inscription. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a flat field, consistent with the Rank-Broadley style introduced in 1998. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Britannia silver bullion series, launched in 1997, used .958 fineness — Britannia silver — rather than the more commercially common .999, a deliberate nod to the historic sterling standard's near-equivalent and a way of distinguishing the British product from the Austrian Philharmonic and Canadian Maple Leaf then dominating the bullion market. By 2001 the series had found a modest but loyal collector base, though it never seriously threatened the market share of those competitors.
The fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley, had been introduced on circulating coinage in 1998 and carried over to this series shortly after.
