2020 Britannia One Ounce Gold Coin

Brand new 2020 One Ounce Gold Britannia Coins. Britannia gold coins remain pure 24-carat (999.9) gold for the eighth year running.

Gold Britannias are the most popular one ounce gold coin for larger UK-based private investors, as they are both Capital Gains Tax free (CGT exempt) and VAT-free as investment gold.

A British bullion gold coin first introduced in 1987 with a face value of £100.00 as a 22-carat coin. Since 2012, the Britannia is now a fine gold coin made in 24-carat.

The coin features the fifth and most recent portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, first introduced in 2015. It was designed by the Royal Mint's own engraver, Jody Clark, and - like the third portrait - sees the Queen wearing the King George IV State Diadem. This is the crown that is typically worn for the annual State Opening of Parliament.

All of our coins are sent out in protective plastic capsules, though every 10 coins will be grouped in a protective Royal Mint coin tube.
