DESCRIPTION
The first one ounce gold bullion coin in Britain was introduced in 1987 as a 22-carat coin, with a face value of £100. The 1 ounce Britannia gold coins provided by us and issued by the Royal Mint, are now made in 24-carat and are also issued in fractional sizes of one-half, one-quarter, and one-tenth of a troy ounce, with face values of £50, £25, and £10 respectively. The history of the Britannia is an interesting one. Britannia appeared almost 2,000 years ago on Roman coins, then later on copper halfpennies and farthings of Charles II from 1672. Britannia continued to appear on bronze coins until decimalisation when she appeared on the fifty pence coins. Between 1901 and 1935, Britannia was portrayed standing on British Trade Dollars as well as on the florins of Edward VII from 1902 to 1910. The current design of the standing Britannia was created by the artist Philip Nathan. Her image has symbolized Britain’s strength and integrity on coinage since the Roman times. The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Today, the Gold Britannias are one of the most popular one ounce gold coin for UK based private investors, as they are Capital Gains Tax Free (CGT Exempt). This gold coin would be a great addition to any bullion collection or investment and is delivered in our protective plastic flips.
