UK - The Gold Britannia

Although the UK already had maybe the most recognisable gold coin in the World with the gold sovereign, back in the 1980's there was a growing trend towards one ounce gold bullion coins. So in 1987 the Royal Mint launched their own 0.9999 1oz bullion gold coin. What better choice of name as Britannia, the female representation of Britain for almost 2000 years.

The 1987 Gold Britannia was designed by Philip Nathan. It's been updated and had different designs in some years, but the reverse image is always that of Britannia. The Obverse has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.

Specifications:

  • Denomination £100
  • Alloy 999.9 fine gold
  • Weight 31.21g
  • Diameter 32.69 mm
  • Fineness 999.9 (99.99% gold)
Britannia Gold Coins have an advantage for UK residents. At the time of writing, Gold Britannia's are VAT free for non VAT registered private individuals and are UK capital gains tax free (for UK residents only), due to being legal tender. Please check current regulations and if necessary get advice from an accountant or other financial/legal advisor before purchasing.

As usual, these coins have a family, such as 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10th oz.
