| 背面描述 | Allegorical seated figure of Britannia facing right, depicted in classical style by engraver Christopher Le Brun. Britannia holds a trident upright in her right hand, symbolising dominion over the seas, and extends an olive branch in her left hand as an emblem of peace. A lion couchant rests at her feet to the lower left, reinforcing the heraldic and imperial character of the design. The field is plain, and the encircling legend above reads QUARTER OUNCE FINE SILVER BRITANNIA, with the date 2007 appearing below the figure. |

The Britannia silver bullion series was revised in 2007 to raise the fineness from .958 to a confirmed legal standard, coinciding with a broader Royal Mint effort to compete directly with the Canadian Maple Leaf and the American Silver Eagle in the international bullion market. The quarter-ounce denomination was introduced partly to offer lower entry-price fractional pieces to collectors unwilling to commit to the full one-ounce coin.
The .958 Britannia standard is historically derived from the old Britannia silver standard introduced in England in 1697 — briefly made compulsory for sterling silverware to protect coinage metal from being melted down by goldsmiths.
