Britannia Facts
Gold continues to be desired, as it has been for centuries, for both its beauty and value. Britannia coins are an accessible way of owning your very own bullion and are a staple for any UK bullion investor’s portfolio. Issued as UK legal tender, each coin is struck by The Royal Mint meticulously from 999.9 fine gold.
As well as being highly competitively priced, Britannia coins are UK legal tender and hence Capital Gains Tax-free, which is an important factor to consider when choosing what to form of metal to buy. By purchasing UK coins eligible for CGT exemption you can avoid paying tax over the profit you make, the amount of this CGT free profit won’t affect or decrease the limit of tax-free profit on your other investments either.
The UK government assures the weight and purity of each coin it produces. Britannia coins are designed for mass storage and safe transit, providing exceptional convenience for all gold bullion coin buyers.
The price of Britannia coins closely tracks the gold price due to their pure gold content, these coins are highly recognisable and highly liquid, there will always be someone waiting to buy them from you when you are ready to sell.
Britannia History
The legendary figure of Britannia has symbolised Britain’s strength and integrity on coinage since Roman times. Little wonder then that the Britannia with such a depth of history behind it, has been a popular choice with bullion investors ever since its introduction in 1987. This new specification combined with its tradition and integrity gives new life for today’s investment customer.
All 1oz gold Britannias contain one troy ounce (31.1035 grams) of gold. From 1987 until 2012 Britannia coins weighed slightly more than a troy ounce due to being alloyed with other metals, pre-2013 they were produced in .917 fineness (or 22-carat gold) with the non-gold component being copper until 1989 and silver from 1990. In 2013 The Royal Mint began producing Britannia coins in their current form of 999.9 fineness (24-carat gold).
The UK Britannia Gold Coin, 2021 features Philip Nathan’s original, breathtaking portrait of Britannia framed in a crenellated border unique to Britannia coins. The figure of Britannia has long been a symbol of national pride. This classic design is instantly recognised across the world as a timeless image of strength and grace.
The obverse of each 2021 Britannia Gold Bullion Coin bears the portrait of the Queen by Jody Clark, the first Royal Mint engraver to be chosen to create a definitive royal coinage portrait in over 100 years.
