2006 Britannia Seated Figure £2 Silver Gold Proof 1oz Coin PCGS PR68 DCAM

For 2006 the Royal Mint released a very special Limited Issue Britannia £2 Two Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .958 Silver with special 24 Carat Gold plating and has been Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR68 DCAM.

The 2006 Britannia Coin bears the 2005 new reverse design, the fifth since the Britannia bullion coins were first introduced in 1987.
Created by the award-winning sculptor Philip Nathan, the design shows Britannia in a traditional pose. Seated atop a craggy rock, looking out to sea, with her robes blowing in the wind, in her right hand Britannia holds a shield, emphasizing her protection of the British Isles. The laurel bush in front of her symbolizes her love of peace but her helmet and the trident clasped in her left hand, emphasize that she is not defenseless.
The obverse portrait of Queen Elizabeth II has been designed by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
