- This coin is struck in Britannia silver (.958) — a legacy alloy dating back to the Great Recoinage of 1696, known for its higher purity than sterling and used by British mints to deter clipping and counterfeiting.
- Last designs before the 2012 Diamond Jubilee tribute and two years before the series shifted to .999 purity and smaller dimensions.
- The 2011 reverse is exclusive to this year, making it a standalone artistic issue in the Britannia lineage.
