The Royal Mint has decided on the way forward with regard to the final design of the 2023 British Silver Britannia.
For a limited time only, the Royal Mint has decided to launch a limited number of Britannia coins with the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The minting and production of this version of the 2023 Britannia will be terminated by mid-November. I suspect that production may be less than 2 million coins. This is based on the assumption that there are no breakdowns, interruptions, and a full supply of silver blanks available thought the 6 weeks. In any case, no doubt, these coins will trade at a premium over previous or possibly even later releases.
From mid-November onwards, the Royal Mint will swap over to the effigy of King Charles III for the remainder of 2022-2023 production season.
In short, there will be a 2023 Britannia with the Queen’s effigy (limited to volumes that can be manufactured in a 6-week period).
