Buy gold Britannia coins

Today, those who choose to buy a gold Britannia coin are investing in pure gold. Until 2012, gold Britannia coins were minted in a purity of 22 carat (916.7 / 1000), but from 2013, the Britannia has been produced in 24-carat gold, or gold with a content of 999.9 / 1000. This is expressed as 999.9 fine gold on the obverse of the coin. Due to the difference in purity, there is also a difference in size. This means that all Britannias minted up to and including 2012 have a slightly different size than the current Britannia gold coins.

The Royal Mint designed this gold coin as a tribute to Britannia, a female personification of Britain from Roman times. She is depicted here as depicted by the Romans, complete with helmet and shield, after a design by British sculptor Philip Nathan. The reverse shows the official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. These two elements ensure that the Britannia can be called a very British currency.
