The Royal Mint - Over a Millennium of Minting Excellence
Founded over 1,100 years ago, The Royal Mint is the United Kingdom's official producer of coins and precious metal products. With a heritage that traces back to the 9th century, The Royal Mint is one of the oldest continuously operating mints in the world, trusted globally for the production of coins, commemoratives, and high-purity bullion.
Operating from its modern facility in Llantrisant, South Wales, The Royal Mint combines centuries of tradition with cutting-edge technology. Its bullion coin range includes some of the most recognised and respected investment products in the world, including the Gold Sovereign, the Gold Britannia, and the Queen's Beasts and Tudor Beasts series.

For UK investors, many of these coins offer tax advantages - including VAT exemption and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exemption - making them both a secure and efficient way to invest in physical gold and silver.
The Royal Mint's reputation is not only built on the quality of its products but also on its integrity, trustworthiness, and innovation. From minting the circulating coinage of the UK to crafting limited-edition collectables and investment-grade bullion, The Royal Mint remains a global leader in precious metal production.

As gold bullion is exempt from UK VAT, there are no applicable taxes at the point of purchase.
However, investors should note that gold bars are liable for Capital Gains Tax at the point of sale, if you exceed your capital gains threshold within your tax year and you make a profit on the sale.
As we're not financial advisors, we can't offer you advice. However, we can give you some facts surrounding gold bar investment.
When investing in gold bullion there are two primary choices:
- investing in gold bars
- investing in gold coins
Potential investors must always remember that the sale of gold bars are subject to Capital Gains Tax (if you make a profit on their sale and you go over your annual CGT threshold).
The key difference wth UK issued gold coins (primarily Sovereigns and Britannias) is these coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
Therefore, if you're a UK resident, whilst the margin you pay when buying a gold bar may be lower, you might be better off investing in UK issued gold coins.
