Silver Britannia One Ounce
This 2020 Britannia £2 silver coin, is a legal tender coin in the UK, and is therefore Capital Gains Tax Free (CGT Exempt).
A long tradition continues by using the Great British national symbol Britannia. Britannia's first appearance on British coinage was on the farthing in 1672. The current Britannia celebrates 63 years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and features a new engraving by Jody Clark.
The edge of the coin states its value, as well as the abbreviated latin D G REG F D which, expanded, says Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Defensatrix. The direct English translation is 'By the grace of God, Queen' and 'Defender of the Faith' - the latter part being a reference to Elizabeth II's status as head of the Church of England.
