Britannia 1 troy ounce gold coin - various years

The 1 troy ounce Britannia gold coin is a 24 carat coin with a fineness of 999.9/1000. The Britannia is renowned for its exceptional beauty and detailed craftsmanship. It is one of the most traded European 1 troy ounce bullion coins.

The coins offered here come from various years between 2013 and 2024. From an investment perspective, these coins are particularly attractive because they are usually priced lower than the latest Britannia (2025) which is supplied directly from the mint. However, when selling back, all Britannia coins—regardless of year—receive the same buyback value.

The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom produces the Britannia 1 troy ounce gold coin. With a face value of £100, it meets the highest production standards. The Royal Mint has been producing coins of exceptional quality for centuries for both the British government and investors worldwide.

Design

The Britannia gold coin was first introduced in 1987 and has since become a highly sought-after investment coin both in the United Kingdom and internationally. Coins minted between 1987 and 2012 contain 22 carat gold, while coins from 2013 onwards are struck in 24 carat gold. We only offer the 24 carat editions. The design by Philip Nathan portrays Britannia, the female personification of Great Britain, originally depicted on Roman coins as early as 119 AD. On the reverse, Britannia holds a shield bearing the Union Jack and a trident in her other hand. The obverse features a portrait of King Charles or Queen Elizabeth, with an intricate background pattern.

Since 2021, the Britannia design has incorporated advanced security features. Below the figure of Britannia, a laser-engraved detail changes from a padlock to a trident depending on the viewing angle. The background features fine lines and wave-like textures that create the illusion of moving water, symbolizing Britain’s maritime heritage.
