I found out in 2006 the mint made 5 special Britannia coins with gold gilding on the 2 pound one ounce silver coins like these

I never have thought much of gold gilding on coins, I think it takes away from the coin. However I do love the Britannia Series!

I never have either, but I have to say it makes these Britannia's really stand out. They are done in a very beautiful way. If these were some other company gilding them then I would have passed on them but the mint id the ones who did it so in my warped mind the set could never be complete unless they were part of the set. The beauty of the coins helped with this decision also
