British Britannia £1 Gold Coins

Browse our range of British Britannia £1 Gold Coins, featuring 1/20 ounce fractional gold coins issued by The Royal Mint. First introduced in 1987, the Britannia series is one of the world’s most recognised gold bullion and proof programmes, combining fractional gold ownership with iconic British design and advanced security features.

Each Britannia £1 Gold Coin contains 1/20 troy ounce (1.55g) of fine gold. Early issues (1987–2012) are struck in 22 carat gold, while modern coins from 2013 onwards are produced in 999.9 fine gold, reflecting The Royal Mint’s move towards higher purity investment gold.

The Britannia design, created by Philip Nathan, symbolises strength, resilience, and national identity. Modern issues feature advanced security enhancements such as micro-text, latent imagery, surface animation, and tincture lines, making Britannia one of the most secure bullion coins in the world.

This category includes a selection of 1/20oz Britannia coins across multiple years, including bullion issues, proof coins, commemorative releases, and certified PCGS and NGC graded examples. These coins are particularly popular with new investors and collectors due to their low entry price point and accessibility.

Britannia £1 Gold Coins are one of the most affordable ways to own physical gold from The Royal Mint, offering global recognition, liquidity, and exemption from UK Capital Gains Tax when classified as investment gold.
