Gold has been a trusted store of wealth for thousands of years, valued not only for its beauty but also for its rarity, durability, and universal acceptance. Today, gold bullion remains one of the most popular and accessible ways to preserve and grow wealth, with coins and bars offering investors flexibility in format, size, and price point.

Why Invest in Gold?

  • VAT-Free in the UK for investment-grade bullion
  • Globally Recognised and easy to trade
  • Wealth Preservation during periods of inflation or economic uncertainty
  • Portfolio Diversification to balance other investments
  • Durability - gold does not tarnish or corrode over time

Gold's intrinsic value and historical stability make it a core component of many investment strategies, whether for long-term holding or as a hedge against market volatility.

Britannia coins are The Royal Mint's own gold and silver bullion coins. Gold Britannias were first made in 1987, and silver Britannias followed in 1997. The 2027 coins celebrate 40 years of the gold coin and 30 years of the silver coin.

Every coin shows Britannia, the figure who has stood for Britain on coins since Roman times. Today's coins are struck in 999.9 fine gold and 999 fine silver, and they're UK legal tender.
