Product Description

The same gold for less

A pre-owned Gold Britannia contains exactly the same gold as a brand new one, but usually costs less. If you're buying for the gold, rather than a particular year or a perfect finish, it's a simple way to keep your costs down.

What you'll receive

Since 2013, The Royal Mint has struck Gold Britannias in 999.9 fine (24 carat) gold. Each coin weighs 31.21g in total and contains 31.10g of pure gold.

Coins are picked at random from our stock, dated 2013 onwards. You may receive Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles III on the obverse. Most carry Philip Nathan's classic standing Britannia, though The Royal Mint has used other Britannia designs in some years. We can't take requests for particular dates or designs.

Condition

These are bullion coins, priced on their gold content. Some may show light marks from handling, but every coin is genuine and contains its full weight of gold.

Security features

Gold Britannias dated 2021 onwards include four security features: a latent image that switches between a trident and a padlock, surface animation in the background waves, micro-text, and tincture lines on Britannia's shield. Coins dated 2013 to 2020 don't have these features, and you may receive either.

Delivery Information

We send every order by Royal Mail Special Delivery, fully insured and tracked. Place your order before 1pm, Monday to Friday, and if it's in stock we'll normally dispatch it the same day.

You can also choose Click & Collect at checkout and collect from our Royal Wootton Bassett branch. We'll email you when your order is ready. Please bring government-issued photo ID and proof of address.

We accept UK debit cards and bank transfers, but not credit cards. For larger orders, we may contact you to arrange payment by bank transfer before dispatch. We only deliver within the UK.

Investing Information

Gold Britannias are UK legal tender, so any profit you make when you sell them is free from Capital Gains Tax. As investment gold, they're also exempt from VAT.

The value of each coin follows the live gold price, so it rises and falls with the market. You'll find today's value in the FAQs below.

The 1oz Gold Britannia is one of the most widely recognised gold coins in the world, which makes it easy to sell when the time comes. Buying pre-owned lets you get the same gold with a lower premium than a new coin.

We're happy to share the facts on tax, but we can't give personal financial advice. Please do your own research, and seek independent guidance if you need it.

Denomination Information

The Britannia series has evolved since its 1987 debut, but its enduring symbol of national identity remains unchanged. From 2013, the transition to 24ct gold aligned the coin with international bullion standards, placing it alongside the Maple Leaf and Kangaroo in purity terms.

In 2021, The Royal Mint further enhanced the coin's appeal by adding cutting-edge security features, making the Britannia one of the most secure bullion coins in the world. With portraits now updated to feature King Charles III, the Britannia continues to mark important chapters in Britain's numismatic history.

A pre-owned 1oz Gold Britannia contains exactly the same troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold as a new coin, but it usually costs less. If you're buying for the gold rather than a particular year or a perfect finish, pre-owned is often the best value way to buy.

Its value comes from the gold it contains. At today's live market price, one troy ounce of gold is worth about £3,019.47. The price to buy a coin is a little higher, to cover sourcing, testing and supply.

No. As these are "best value" coins, you will receive our choice of date, which may show either monarch, depending on availability.

Yes, if the coin is dated 2021 or later. Earlier 24ct issues (2013-2020) do not include these features. Unfortunately, we don't offer a selection service from our pre-owned stock; however, all coins sold have been thoroughly checked and authenticated as genuine.

22ct Britannias (1987-2012) contain 1oz of gold but weigh 34.05g due to their alloy content. 24ct Britannias (2013-present) are struck in .9999 fine gold, weighing 31.21g in total. Both contain exactly 1 troy ounce of pure gold.
