British Britannia melt value & silver content
99.9% silver · 1.00000 troy oz of pure silver per coin.
What a British Britannia is worth
The melt value of a British Britannia is its 1.00000 troy oz of pure silver multiplied by the silver spot price. It contains 99.9% silver. The calculator above uses the current spot price, so the figure it shows is what the silver in the coin is worth right now.
Melt value is a floor, not a price. A British Britannia in collectible grade, or a scarce date, can be worth well above its silver. Dealers also buy under melt and sell over it — the spread is how they make money, so expect to pay a premium buying and receive a discount selling.
What a British Britannia works out to
| Quantity | Silver | Melt value |
