The Y2K privy coin is not actually issued as a normal Britannia and is a 1999 coin. There was a series of coins issued, all 1oz coins each with the privy mark. The set included coins from here, the USA, China, Liberia, Australia and Canada. Britannia, Panda , Maple etc. The Liberia one had the Y2K on the coin itself, not as a privy mark. Numbers were about 10,000 each, other than the Maple, believed to be 5,000 and the Liberia 2,000. It appears that the Panda and the Britannia are the hardest to source.

Sorry. My mistake. I meant 1999

I was also looking at the  2011 matte Britannia. Read that this coin had production issues at the mint.

Is this difficult to source?

Only 2,337 matte ones were produced and were all bought by an American company and graded. Around 800 were graded MS70.

This y2k is impossible to track down.

Thanks @petra I have developed an interest in Britannia’s and trying to do some research. The other one is the pig privy. This is also very rare. 
Really interesting facts regarding Britannias. Never knew how difficult these can be to source

Have you ever  come across the panda and Britannia y2k for sale?

Would a normal 2022 with milk spots work?

£180 seems like a good starting point 😄

These two are two of the rarer ones. No good at doing links, however if you type in ‘Britannia UK-The Complete Silver Rounds Guide’ should get you to an excellent resource for Britannias, best I have found.
