Comment
Britannia Commemorative Society was founded in 1966, and issued silver medallions to its members. These appear to have been issued at the rate of one medallion per month at an initial price of £3.50 each. They also appear to have been issued in conjunction with The Franklin Mint.
The first series featured great or important events or people in the history and development of the United Kingdom.
There appears to have been 60 medallions issued in the full set.
