Representing regal strength for centuries, the Royal Arms endures as one of the United Kingdom’s most recognisable and majestic symbols. Coats of Arms have been used for centuries to represent the identity of individuals and families and today, the Royal Arms appears on official documents and at monuments across the United Kingdom.
In 2019, heraldic artist Timothy Noad reinterpreted this iconic symbol for a bullion coin range. Now, the design features on coins in The Royal Arms 2025 Bullion Coin Range, which marks the last time this bespoke interpretation of Elizabeth II’s Coat of Arms will feature on the reverse of The Royal Mint’s Royal Arms bullion coin range.
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.
