http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britan...er_Britannia is a good starting point.
Basically in 1997, there was only a proof release
1998 to 2012, there were uncirculated ones and some years proof ones with the same design.
In 2013, things changed since now a bullion one, uncirculated, and proof ones started to be released.
The bullion for 2013, was the same design as the 2012 bullion one with a different design for the proof and uncirculated ones.
In 2014, only the proof ones has a different design. The uncirculated one has the same design as a bullion one.
The Royal Mint price for the proof is £92.50 while the uncirculated one is £57.50 while only dealers sell the bullion ones which price is around £20.
The privy is just a special marking on the coins which seems to have started when Mark Carney came over from Canada to become the governer of the Bank of England since the UK now also has a £20 for £20 series since 2013.
The lunar series, is just another bullion offering.
I am a bit sad since the Britannia series was a nice series until they started messing with it.
