In 2004 the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Britannia £2 Two Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .958 Silver and weighs one ounce of fine pure Silver and depicts his much-admired design created for the gold Britannia of 1987.
The standing figure of Britannia is unmistakable as the personification of Britain. Her hair and gown streaming in the wind, she stands defiantly proud, armed in her right hand with a familiar trident, her left hand resting on a shield. Gracing the obverse is the portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the fourth to feature on the circulating coinage since her accession in 1952. The powerful design, capturing the Queen in a realistic profile is the work of sculptor and medallist Ian Rank Broadley, FRBS, FSNAD. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
