About the 1/10oz Platinum Britannia
The 1/10oz Platinum Britannia is the smaller denomination of The Royal Mint's® platinum bullion coin range, sitting alongside the 1oz as part of the Britannia precious metals family. It carries the same Britannia reverse design and the same .9995 fine platinum purity as the full-ounce coin, but at a fraction of the price - making it one of the most accessible ways to hold investment-grade platinum.
Because of its lower entry price, the 1/10oz Platinum Britannia is often purchased as a gift - for milestone birthdays, christenings, or as an introduction to precious metal investing. That means sellers of this coin frequently come to it through inheritance or as a recipient who has decided to cash in rather than hold. Whatever the reason for selling, the process is exactly the same as for any other platinum coin.
The coin carries a face value of £10, confirming its status as UK legal tender - and with that comes the same Capital Gains Tax exemption that applies to the 1oz Platinum Britannia.
