I hope those aren't the Britannias you're thinking of getting but they look like counterfeits. With that budget I personally would go with silver, providing you get the Britannias with the new security features.

If you're UK the Royal Mint is the safest bet.

Here's a noob guide for you to get you started:

1. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is (pretty much Ebay sales).
2. Gold is the better precious metal over silver because it is tax free.
3. There's spot price and premium price, buying under 10% premium is a good deal. Unfortunately this only applies to gold right now because silver premiums have gone up substantially recently to around 30%
4. Gold and Silver Britannias and British Sovereigns are all Capital Gains Tax free in the UK
5. If you sell your precious metals to a dealer they will only pay you the spot price minus 4% (I just had a thought, might be better to go to a scrap yard if you can get the full spot price there)
6. Don't idly tell everyone that you have precious metals, that can make you a target for thieves
7. Staking precious metals isn't about getting rich quick, it is about building an investment that's a hedge against fiat. Don't expect returns until 20 to 30 years. In an unlikely collapse of society, precious metals are bankless money, a store of labor that you can trade for goods in the aftermath of armageddon.
8. I highly recommend getting the 2022 Britannia coins as they have a bunch of security features minted on to them that makes them extremely hard to counterfeit. This will also make your coins easier to sell when the time comes. See the video below about these security features.
