2017 marks the 30th anniversary since the Britannia gold bullion coin was first released. To mark this occasion, the original design by Phillip Nathan has been updated to include an anniversary mark to denote the respective anniversary and the coin will be limited to a production of 7,030. The obverse of the coin also includes the introduction of a new guilloché finish, providing an additional level of security for investors.

The Gold Britannia One Ounce Bullion coin is one of the most popular larger coins for UK based private investors, as they are CGT exempt in the United Kingdom and VAT free in both the UK and the European Community.

This Britannia range is produced to ‘Bullion’ specifications which means it has a similar standard of finish to circulating coins. Bullion coins are sold at a small premium over and above the metal price which means that many purchase them purely on their intrinsic value (as investment-grade precious metals). The Britannia is also available in proof and brilliant uncirculated finishes and collectable versions of this coin are also available from the Royal Mint which are produced to different specifications. You can read more about the differences between coin finishes and specifications in our striking standards article.

Britannia gold coins are struck in 999.9 fine gold. The anniversary edition of Britannia bullion coins are available in single coin capsules only, unlike other coins in the Britannia range which can be purchased individually in single coin capsules or in tubes of 10 coins.

We offer free UK delivery and the 2017 Royal Mint Bullion Gold Britannia Anniversary coin will be dispatched, fully insured in a sealed, nondescript package; there are no identifiable markings to suggest the contents.
