The Britannia Gold Coin stands as one of the most respected bullion issues in the world, combining centuries of symbolism with the prestige of the Royal Mint. First introduced in 1987, the Britannia became the official gold bullion coin of the United Kingdom, continuing a legacy of British gold coinage that stretches back to the days of the sovereigns.

Britannia herself, the female personification of the British Isles, has been a symbol of strength, unity, and liberty since the 1st century AD. Over time, her image has resurfaced during periods of challenge and renewal, making her one of the most enduring figures in world coinage. Each 1/2 oz Britannia coin reflects that heritage while offering investors a fractional, more accessible way to own fine gold.

Coin Features:
  • Weight: 1/2 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold
  • Condition: BU / Proof 
  • Mint: The Royal Mint
  • Obverse: Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles III (depending on year)
  • Reverse: Iconic Britannia with shield and trident, inscriptions include “1/2 OUNCE FINE GOLD,” “BRITANNIA,” and year of issue
