British Britannia One Ounce £100 Gold Coin

What We Buy: 1oz Gold Britannia Coin

The sister bullion coin to the Sovereign depicting a symbol of Britain since Roman times, Britannia is a recognisable presence to collectors and investors worldwide. While the subject herself carries a deep and cultured history, the first Royal Mint Gold Britannia was minted in 1987 and has enjoyed yearly releases since. Over this time, changes in design and specification of the 1oz Britannia can be traced, and so we are happy to provide further overview to assist those looking to sell one or more £100 Britannia coins. 

Specification Of The 1oz £100 Britannia

In its initial iteration the 1oz Gold Britannia was, like the Sovereign range, struck in 22ct (91.6%) gold. However since 2013 Britannias have been struck in fine 24ct to encourage global adoption, therefore a change in composition can be found in this year. Despite this, while very slight variations may be present, the intrinsic gold content of one troy ounce remains the same and so value on the bullion market is comparable regardless of mintage year. 

In conjunction with the finer gold content, the 1oz Britannia is roughly four times heavier than the Full Sovereign, offering investors the opportunity to stack their gold in fewer individual coins. Instead of holding a fractional figure, the £100 Britannia holds precisely 1 troy ounce of pure gold - equivalent to 31.10 grams of the precious metal. When presented within the impressive 32.69 millimetre diameter, the 1oz Britannia is revealed as nothing less than an attractive bullion package.
