About the British Britannia Series

The gold British Britannia coin was first released in 1987 in response to an increase in demand for physical gold coins from private and retail investors. In the 1960s and 1970s, investing in physical bullion became popular. In the 1960s the Rand Refinery launched the Krugerrand, which was the initial gold coin available in the market. However, due to Apartheid sanctions, Krugerrands were less available in the 1980s, and other countries began to release their own gold coin, these included the American Gold Eagle, the Canadian Maple Leaf and the British Britannia gold coin. The British Britannia coin was an immediate success, and was followed by the launch of the silver Britannia in 1997, and the platinum Britannia in 2016. Most gold Britannia coins are 1 Ounce gold coins, however fractional sizes are available on the market as well.

It should be mentioned that the United Kingdom also manufacture the gold Sovereign coin, which was heavily used for trade in the 1800s, and has been in circultaion for more than 150 years.

Design of the 1 Oz 2022 Gold Britannia

The design of the Britannia gold coin has remained the same since its launch. However, the purity of the coins has improved from 999 fine to 9999 fine. 2022 gold Britannia coins also feature a small security mark on the reverse side, which helps to authenticate the coin. Each coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the front. The Britannia coin series has legal tender value as issued by the government of the United Kingdom. Each 1 Ounce gold Britannia has a face value of £100 GBP. This means that the government of the United Kingdom guarantees to back the coin to that value. 

The reverse side of the coin features an image of Lady Britannia on it. Lady Britannia first appeared on coins when Britain was part of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century. On the Britannia gold coin, Lady Britannia holds a trident in one hand and a shield in the other. The shields bears the Union Jack on it. The coin's purity of 999.9, its size of 1 troy Ounce, and its metal type, gold (Au), are all inscribed around the outside of the coin.

These coins are available individually, or in tubes of 10 coins. Coins may be purchased using any of 15 currencies via bank transfer. Clients may also purchase gold Britannias using cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple. Worldwide delivery and vault storage are both available.
