One ounce coins and bars, equivalent to 31.1 grams, are internationally recognised and widely traded. Their familiar weight makes them a favourite for collectors and investors alike, offering liquidity, portability, and strong resale appeal.
Coins featuring His Majesty King Charles III mark a new chapter in British numismatic history. From 2022 onwards, The Royal Mint began issuing gold and silver coins bearing the official portrait of King Charles III, making these pieces highly collectable and historically significant.
Coins Bearing the Portrait of King Charles III
\r\n
The accession of King Charles III in September 2022 ushered in a new era for the British monarchy and UK coinage. In keeping with long-standing Royal Mint tradition, the monarch's effigy is updated on all newly issued legal tender coins. Coins bearing the image of His Majesty King Charles III are therefore of great historical and cultural importance, representing the first design change to the obverse of British coinage in 70 years.
\r\n
The first coins to feature King Charles III entered circulation and bullion markets in late 2022. The official effigy, designed by acclaimed British sculptor Martin Jennings, depicts the King facing left - in keeping with numismatic tradition, which alternates the direction of each new monarch's portrait.
\r\n
Coins minted with the portrait of King Charles III span both commemorative and bullion ranges. This includes popular investment coins such as the Gold Sovereign, Gold Britannia, and Silver Britannia, as well as limited-edition releases to mark significant national occasions, such as the Coronation Sovereign issued in 2023.
\r\n
These coins are not only legal tender but also form an essential part of British numismatic history. They appeal to both collectors and investors due to their historical importance, high precious metal content, and, in many cases, tax advantages - such as Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exemption for UK-issued gold legal tender coins.
\r\n

Valiant coins are silver bullion coins from The Royal Mint. They show St George, England's patron saint, slaying the dragon. The series ran from 2018 to 2021, in 1oz and 10oz sizes.
Every Valiant coin is struck in 999.9 fine silver (99.99% pure), and they're UK legal tender. That makes them free from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents.
You'll find our full range of Valiant coins below.

Yes. We buy Valiant coins of every year, in both the 1oz and 10oz sizes. You can sell them at our Royal Wootton Bassett or Bodmin branches, or send them to us by post.
No. The newest Valiant coins on The Royal Mint's records are dated 2021. That means every Valiant coin you can buy today is from the 2018 to 2021 run, and all of them carry the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
Yes. Valiant coins are UK legal tender, with a face value of £2 for the 1oz coin and £10 for the 10oz coin. That means UK residents don't pay Capital Gains Tax on any profit when they sell them.
Silver isn't VAT-free in the UK, but the Valiant coins we sell are pre-owned. They're sold under the VAT margin scheme, so VAT is only worked out on our margin, not the full price. This usually makes them cheaper than buying new silver coins.
The Royal Mint made the 10oz Silver Valiant from 2018 to 2021, and the 1oz Silver Valiant from 2019 to 2021. So there are four 10oz dates and three 1oz dates in total. Every coin is struck in 999.9 fine silver and shows Queen Elizabeth II.
