The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of this black coin. Elizabeth II, D.G. (reigning by the grace of God), REG FID DEF (defender of the faith) and 2 pounds are also inscribed.
To achieve the unusual black surface of the coin, it was coated with silver-gray ruthenium, one of the platinum metals that looks like platinum but is rarer. The reverse features a relief Britannia image, the feminine embodiment of Great Britain and is depicted in a classical toga and a war helmet as she stands vigilantly poised for battle upon the shores of her country. In one hand, she wields a trident in honor of Britain’s naval prowess. In the other hand, she holds an olive branch and a round shield bearing the union jack. The legends on the reverse include the name of the issuing country, weight and metal fineness – 1 oz silver 999. Housed in a black luxury box with a numbered CoA inside, the Golden Enigma 2015 – Britannia coin is a desirable collector’s item!
