The Royal Mint produces these coins every year, so you could even start a tradition of gifting them the new edition each year. This also adds extra value to the coin due to the scarcity of being able to get hold of Britannia’s from previous years.
2. 1/10oz Gold Britannia Coin
Gold is a popular precious metal, particularly for its beauty as well as its value.
Gold can be expensive, but with the 1/10oz Gold Britannia Coin it becomes affordable as a gift while still holding huge value. As mentioned before Britannia’s are very popular amongst UK bullion investors because of their beauty and national pride.

Their historic role means they can be viewed as numismatic, adding permanent and tangible value to the coin.
