Gold Britannia Bullion Coins

Discover our range of Gold Britannia Bullion Coins from The Royal Mint — one of the world’s most recognised and trusted modern gold bullion coin series. First introduced in 1987, Gold Britannias have become a cornerstone of precious metal investment and modern British coin collecting, combining exceptional minting quality, worldwide recognition, and iconic British design. This category includes official Royal Mint gold bullion Britannias across all major denominations, from the flagship £100 1oz Gold Britannia down to fractional gold issues including half-ounce, quarter-ounce, tenth-ounce, twentieth-ounce, and smaller fractional releases.

Featuring the timeless image of Britannia — the enduring symbol of Britain’s strength and stability — Gold Britannia bullion coins remain highly sought after by both investors and collectors. Early Britannias issued between 1987 and 2012 were struck in 22 carat gold (.9167 fine), while all modern bullion Britannias from 2013 onwards are produced in .9999 fine gold, helping establish Britannia as one of the leading international investment gold coin series.

This category includes a wide range of Gold Britannia bullion coins, including:

• 1oz Gold Britannia bullion coins (£100 denomination)
• Fractional Gold Britannias (£50, £25, £10 and smaller denominations)
• Queen Elizabeth II Britannias
• King Charles III Britannias
• Modern .9999 fine gold Britannias
• Earlier 22 carat Britannias
• Brilliant Uncirculated bullion issues
• Royal Mint security-feature Britannias
• PCGS and NGC graded bullion examples

Gold Britannias are especially popular with UK investors due to their Capital Gains Tax exempt status and VAT-free investment gold classification, while collectors appreciate the series for its historic continuity, changing portrait designs, and annual Royal Mint releases. In 2021, The Royal Mint introduced advanced security features to the bullion Britannia range, including surface animation, latent image technology, micro-text, and tincture lines, making modern Britannias among the most visually secure bullion coins in the world.

Popular issues within the series include first-year 1987 Britannias, 2013 transition-year .9999 fine gold releases, 2021 security-feature Britannias, final Queen Elizabeth II issues, and the first King Charles III Britannias introduced in 2023. Many investors build positions across multiple denominations, while collectors often assemble complete Britannia date runs spanning every year of issue.
