Gold Britannia Bullion Coins
Explore our range of Gold Britannia bullion coins from The Royal Mint, including one-ounce and fractional gold Britannias across selected years and denominations.
First introduced in 1987, the Gold Britannia is one of Britain’s best-known bullion coins. Modern Britannias issued since 2013 are struck in 999.9 fine gold, while earlier 22-carat Britannias contain the stated weight of fine gold alongside an alloy.
Why Buy Gold Britannia Coins?
Gold Britannias are produced primarily for buyers seeking physical gold. Their price is therefore closely related to the value of their fine gold content, together with the applicable market premium.
Britannias are also UK legal-tender coins. For UK buyers, their tax treatment is one reason they are frequently considered alongside Sovereigns when choosing physical gold coins. Learn more in our Britannia vs Sovereign guide.
Gold Britannia Sizes
Gold Britannias have been issued in a range of denominations, including one-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and tenth-ounce coins, with other fractional sizes also produced for selected issues.
The different sizes allow buyers to choose between larger individual gold holdings and smaller denominations, although premiums relative to gold content can vary between sizes.
Bullion Britannias vs Proof Britannias
Bullion and Proof Britannias are different products. Bullion Britannias are primarily produced for the precious-metals market, while Proof Britannias are specially produced collector coins that can carry additional premiums relating to mintage, finish, condition and collector demand.
Our Proof Gold Coins vs Bullion Coins guide explains the distinction in more detail. If you are looking for professionally graded examples, you can also browse our certified Britannia gold coins.
