For thousands of years, gold has been connected to Christmas and the giving of gifts. Many of our traditions during the festive season come from stories involving gold, such as St Nicholas leaving gold in stockings or the three wise men bearing gifts. Whether for its intrinsic value or irresistible beauty, no Christmas is complete without a touch of gold. Presented in a sleeve with an elegant seasonal design, the Britannia 5g gold bar is the perfect way to give a Christmas gift of lasting and practical value.

Each 5g gold bar features a depiction of Britannia – an enduring emblem of strength and stability. First appearing on the coins of the Emperor Hadrian, Britannia is now the modern face of British bullion, instantly recognisable all over the world and a trusted symbol of the quality of British minting.
