Buy 2017 Proof 1/4 Platinum Britannia Boxed

A 2017 Proof quarter ounce platinum Britannia coin from The Royal Mint.

The 1/4oz coin carries the same design as the Proof gold and silver variants.

On the obverse is the fifth and most recent portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, first introduced in 2015. It was designed by the Royal Mint’s own engraver, Jody Clark, and you can see his initials just below the Queen’s neck.

Like the third portrait, the newest design has the Queen wearing the King George IV State Diadem – the crown typically worn for the annual State Opening of Parliament, but unlike any of the Queen’s other portraits this was the first designed without any manual sculpting – the work instead done on a computer.
