With OGP & COA | Scarce - In Top 83 NGC coins worldwide a/o 7/14/2021
Rare/scarce coin.
Only 83 (eighty-three) coins wordwide
have been certified by NGC as >= PF68 UC
. (a/o 7/14/2021)
Minted at UK's Royal Mint.  10,000 Mintage.
Struck in
0.958 fine silver.
My experience has been that Sterling silver (.925) coins and these 0.958 fine silver coins tend to retain their visual properties better verses .999 pure silver coins.  It seems like the added-in alloy(s) help a coins longer term appearance - lower risk of toning, discoloration, spots developing, etc.  That's MY OPINION / observation, and may or may not  be valid.
Obverse:
obverse of the coin is graced by the Ian Rank-Broadley profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.  The inscriptions "ELIZABETH II D.G." REG. F.D.", "REG FID DEF" and "2 POUNDS."
Reverse:
New reverse design by designer Philip Nathan.
Inscribed are "BRITANNIA," "2003", "ONE OUNCE FINE SILVER".
I purchased this coin 'raw' a few years ago, sent it into NGC for certification, and have kept it stored away as part of my personal coin collection since. Time to let it go.
