1oz Gold Coins
The one ounce gold coin is the standard unit of the bullion market. A troy ounce is 31.10 grams, the measure the gold price itself is quoted in, so a one ounce coin is the easiest holding to value: take the spot price and add the premium. Almost every major mint produces one, and it is the size dealers worldwide recognise on sight.
The coins below all contain exactly one troy ounce of gold. What differs is the alloy: 24 carat coins are pure gold and weigh 31.10 grams in total, while 22 carat coins carry a little copper or silver to harden them and so weigh more overall. Both hold the same ounce of gold and are priced on the same basis.
Like all investment grade gold, these coins are exempt from VAT, so the price you pay reflects the gold content and a small premium rather than being inflated by sales tax.
Gold Britannia coins are British legal tender, which makes them exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents no matter how many you buy or sell. The other coins on this page are foreign legal tender and do not qualify, so UK investors building a large holding often favour the Britannia at this size.

Beyond the core bullion ranges we also stock one ounce coins from several annual and themed series, including the Gold Queen's Beasts, Gold Tudor Beasts, Royal Mint Gold Myths & Legends, Royal Arms gold coins and Royal Mint Gold Lunar series. These carry a higher premium than the plain bullion coins but appeal to buyers who want a changing design.
The 30 gram gold Panda sits just below a full ounce. China moved its Panda series onto metric weights in 2016, so the largest standard coin now holds 30 grams rather than 31.10 grams, which is worth allowing for when comparing prices against the coins above.
If a full ounce is more than you want to commit at once, the same designs are available as half ounce, quarter ounce and tenth ounce coins.
