Gold Bullion
Bullion refers to a non-ferrous alloy that is refined to a high standard in both weight and purity. Due to its alloy count, bullion is a great option for investment.
People buy them for the intrinsic value of the precious metal they contain, so production places greater emphasis on efficiency. They are struck at a rate of up to 250 gold and 3,000 silver coins per hour and are of a similar standard to Brilliant Uncirculated coins.
VAT free for non VAT registered private individuals
Can be Vaulted
Store in The Vault, our on-site precious metal storage facility

Our best-value Britannia bullion coins offer you the chance to buy a pre-owned Britannia bullion coin at the lowest price from The Royal Mint – the UK’s home of gold. We will select a pre-owned Britannia coin from any year, enabling you to invest in gold for less. Our best-value Britannia bullion coins are sold solely on the basis of their gold content, rather than any numismatic or collector value, and may contain scratches, dents and other marks.
Britannia first appeared on the coins of the Emperor Hadrian almost 2,000 years ago. Restored to British coinage in 1672, during the reign of Charles II, the icon has appeared on the coins of every subsequent monarch. Reassuring and resolute, Britannia symbolises the spirit of a nation at times of both celebration and crisis. Instantly recognisable all over the world, Britannia resonates with international investors and is a trusted mark of British minting excellence.
Featuring Philip Nathan’s seminal design, our Britannia bullion coin depicts the female personification of the UK standing firm in the eye of a storm. Chosen to feature on The Royal Mint’s very first Britannia bullion coin in 1987, Nathan’s design has been acclaimed a modern masterpiece.
Best Value bullion coins are randomly selected from the stock available at a single point in time. If you purchase multiple single-capsule Best Value bullion coins in a single order, you may receive bullion coins with a mix of designs and dates or the same dated bullion coin multiple times.

How are bullion prices calculated?
The 'buy' and 'sell' prices shown on the website represent the market value of raw vaulted metal in an 'unallocated' form. This is the standard way prices are quoted throughout the bullion industry. In order for The Royal Mint to deliver beautifully crafted precious metals products to your address, or to our vault, a number of processes must take place, all of which incur a cost. These processes include transportation, refining, minting, quality checking and merchandising.
The price at which The Royal Mint is able to sell bullion products to consumers is therefore made up of the 'spot price' (the buy price) plus an additional premium. The premium accounts for the costs incurred in manufacturing a particular product and is usually either a percentage of the buy price or a fixed monetary amount. In short, manufactured bullion products always sell at a premium to enable retailers and manufacturers to cover their costs.
Can I spend/pay using my bullion coins?
All UK coins, whether circulating or non-circulating, are authorised as “legal tender” by Royal Proclamation, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1971.
Legal tender allows UK coins to be accepted for payment of debts in court – but, only circulating legal tender coins are designed to be spent and traded at businesses and banks. The Royal Mint creates commemorative and bullion coin series to celebrate key moments or individuals, and these are treasured for their collectable and aesthetic value, or purchased for investment opportunities. However, these non-circulating, commemorative and bullion coins are limited edition and will not enter general circulation – meaning banks and businesses are not required to accept them.
