Gold Britannias are official British coins with a face value in pounds sterling, issued by the Royal Mint. That government backing, together with their guaranteed weight and purity, makes them one of the most widely recognized gold coins in the world.
Tax note: Britannias are exempt from capital gains tax for UK residents only. US and Arkansas sellers should ask a tax advisor about federal and state reporting. We provide full documentation for your records.
Every Britannia carries an official face value (for example £100 on a 1 oz coin) issued by the Royal Mint under UK law.
Their recognition and guaranteed content make Britannias among the easiest gold coins to buy and sell anywhere in the world.
Since 2013 Britannias are struck in 999.9 fine (24K) gold, and since 2021 they include security features such as a latent image and micro-text that make them easy to verify.
The gold Britannia, first issued by the Royal Mint in 1987, carries one of the world's most enduring coin designs. The reverse shows Britannia, the female figure who personifies Britain, in a series of interpretations over the decades.
The front carries several portraits of Queen Elizabeth II from 1987 to 2022, and King Charles III from 2023, making a full collection a living record of British royal coinage.
Six reasons Arkansas Britannia owners choose Unique Jewelry.
Every sale comes with a clear written record of the coins, weights and price paid, ready for your tax advisor.
Your offer uses the daily LBMA gold price. No fixed house prices and no hidden margins.
Low-mintage years, proof editions and rare designs can earn a collector premium above gold value. We assess these fairly.
Every coin is insured at declared value door to door and tracked at every stage with our prepaid shipping.
Single coins or full collections, circulated or proof. Condition affects any collector premium, never the base gold payout.
Decline for any reason and your coins come back fully insured and free. No pressure at any stage.
Britannias sold for their gold are valued on purity and weight alone. A 1 oz 999.9 Britannia contains one troy ounce (31.1g) of fine gold whether it's been handled or kept pristine, and we pay the same per-gram rate either way.
Proof, special edition and low-mintage Britannias may be worth a collector premium above their gold. We assess these individually and always offer the higher of the two values.
