The 1oz Gold Britannia Coins were first introduced in 1987 as a way for investors to buy one ounce of 22 carat gold at a very low premium over the gold spot price. Compared to the gold content of a Sovereign Coin which is 0.2354 troy ounces you will be purchasing a large amount of fine gold in one coin. This will of course be reflected in the price which is typically 3% over the spot price of gold. Investors can expect to pay a higher premium for the smaller Gold Britannias which can very anywhere between 5-10% for single coins.
There are four different sizes of Gold Britannia's to collect. The 1 ounce coin which has a face value of £100, the 1/2 ounce which has a face value of £50, the 1/4 ounce which has a face value of £25 and finally the 1/10 ounce coin which has a face value of £10. Gold Britannia Dimensions are One Hundred Pounds: diameter 32.69 mm, Fifty Pounds diameter 27.00 mm, Twenty Five Pounds diameter 22.00 mm and the Ten Pounds diameter 16.50 mm.
| Britannia's are produced in both proof and bullion finishes with the smaller sizes typically been sold in sets. Box sets which include both Sovereigns and Britannia's are also very popular. The smaller sizes and box sets will appeal more to the collector than the gold investor, Britannia's have limited mintage however and rare coins will always increase in value over time. | ![]() |
