2026 1/2oz Silver Britannia

The Half Ounce Silver Britannia is the ideal choice for UK investors seeking smaller divisibility silver coins. It includes the same precision security features as the standard 1oz version, but offering twice the flexibility. The Silver Britannia 1/2oz coin provides the optimum balance of increased divisibility at a lower premium than the 1/10oz and 1/4oz editions.

Struck by The Royal Mint in 999 fine silver, this fractional edition features the effigy of King Charles III on the obverse, designed by Martin Jennings.

As the UK’s flagship silver coin, the Britannia combines outstanding value with legal tender status, making it Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt in the UK – a rare advantage for investors.

  • Face Value: £1 (legal tender, CGT exempt)

Advanced Security Features

The 2026 1/2oz Silver Britannia is one of the most secure bullion coins on the market, with high-tech design features to deter counterfeiting:

  1. Latent Image: A trident that shifts into a padlock when tilted.
  2. Animated Waves: Background wave design that shimmers with movement.
  3. Micro-Text: The phrase DECUS ET TUTAMEN (“An ornament and a safeguard”) in ultra-fine detail.
  4. Shield Detailing: Britannia’s shield enhanced with precision laser-engraving.

These elements provide both visual appeal and peace of mind for investors.

Investors often buy in bulk (tubes or monster boxes) to reduce premiums further, while collectors value the artistry and evolving symbolism of Britannia herself. With silver prices still comparatively undervalued against gold, the 2026 issue represents both affordability and growth potential.
