Merit Gold & Silver Has Exclusive Rights to British Royal Mint 2014 Lunar Series “Year of the Horse” Silver Britannia
Santa Monica, CA. (PRWEB) February 11, 2014 -- The British Royal Mint has released the 2014 Lunar Series Silver Britannia, a pure silver, legal tender coin struck with a privy marked rim. California-based premier gold dealer, Merit Gold & Silver, has the exclusive rights to sell the limited edition coins struck by the government mint.
The Lunar Britannia is the first silver coin series struck by the 1,100 year-old British Royal Mint utilizing a technique to deter counterfeiting: a privy marked rim. The 2014 Lunar Series Silver Britannia features a total of eight iconic “Year of the Horse” emblems from the Chinese Lunar Calendar and is available to American investors and collectors exclusively through Merit Gold & Silver.
Mike Getlin, Executive Vice President of Merit Gold & Silver, was recently interviewed about Merit’s partnership with the British Royal Mint and said, “We have exclusive access to very, very low mintage products with brand new, cutting edge striking techniques used to produce them.” Getlin continued, “We have seen secondary markets pop up over the last year that have really given some pretty outstanding returns to people who have purchased them.”
The 2014 Lunar Series Silver Britannia features the bust of Queen Elizabeth on its obverse and sculptor Philip Nathan’s image of a standing Britannia on the flipside. The personification of Great Britain is stunning with her flowing hair and gown. In addition to her trident, shield and helmet (paying homage to her Roman origin) she clenches an olive branch in her hand symbolizing her quest for peace.
Packaged in protective tubes including a tamper-proof seal, Merit Gold & Silver customers will have the opportunity to buy packages of 20 coins or boxes of 500 coins; each coin weighs 1 Troy Ounce (31.1035g). Consumers can choose between receiving the physical coins or including them in an IRA investment. The coins have been produced to meet the high standards associated with the British Royal Mint, allowing the pieces to be pre-approved for IRA investments. The authenticity of the 2014 Lunar Series Silver Britannia is guaranteed both by Merit Gold & Silver and by the British government.
