Investments in bullion products are not FCA regulated. The value of your investment can go down as well as up. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

For centuries, Britannia has captured the spirit of the nation she represents. She has evolved through time, reimagined by artists to reflect particular values or strengths. When sculptor Philip Nathan created his interpretation of Britannia for a new European bullion coin in 1987, he chose elements like the trident and olive branch as a reminder of her naval connections and peaceful spirit. His design has endured ever since, becoming a modern classic, winning awards and building a reputation for beauty, quality and reliability that is appreciated by investors all around the world. This modern classic of design has been struck on this 2021 Britannia bullion coin, containing a tenth-of-an-ounce of 999.5 fine platinum. 

The coin is also available as a one ounce fine silver and one ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and tenth-ounce fine gold edition with four new additional security features.

Key Points:

  • Struck in a tenth-of-an-ounce of 999.5 fine platinum  
  • Features Philip Nathan’s internationally recognised Britannia design  
  • With a radial lined background feature for added security 
  • Finished to The Royal Mint’s bullion standard 

 

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.
