🎨 Design & Artistic Legacy:

• Reverse: Designed by Suzie Zamit, the bust of Britannia wears a Corinthian-style helmet crowned with a lion emblem — symbolizing courage, sovereignty, and national pride. Her windswept hair and robes echo classical sculptures, while the olive branch and eastward gaze evoke peace and global reach.
• Obverse: Queen Elizabeth II’s fourth effigy by Ian Rank-Broadley, used from 1998–2015, depicts Her Majesty with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara.

🏛️ Historical Significance:

• Struck in Britannia silver (.958) — a legacy alloy introduced during the Great Recoinage of 1696, prized for its high purity and resistance to wear
• One-year-only reverse design, unique to 2010 and never reused in later releases
• Among the final pre-999 issues, this coin belongs to the last trio before the Britannia series adopted .999 silver and smaller 38.61 mm dimensions in 2013
• Often mistaken for matte due to its subtle brilliance, but true matte strikes (2,337 pieces) were released exclusively in 2011, separate from this BU version

✨ Finish & Condition:

• Brilliant Uncirculated with a satin-like or semi-proof luster, smoother than standard BU coins but not frosted or matte
• Includes a free protective capsule to safeguard the coin’s pristine surfaces
• No toning, spotting, or handling marks - One tiny rim ding on reverse bottom right. A top-tier example ready for grading, display, or investment

🎯 Collector’s Appeal:

• Striking one-year design and legacy alloy set this coin apart
• Perfect for collectors building pre-999 silver sets or focusing on Britannia’s artistic evolution
• A quietly rare release with a sculptural depth that pairs beautifully with coins from 2011 and 2012
