1oz British Britannia Gold Coin 2025

we are proud to present the 2025 1oz British Britannia Gold Coin, the flagship gold coin of The Royal Mint. Nearly 2,000 years ago, a figure was shaped to symbolise a great nation and its people. The Romans imagined a noble, graceful warrior and placed her on coins with the name of Britannia, Britannia being the new province the Romans had claimed.

Britannia has been reimagined numerous times as she has appeared on the coins produced of every British monarch through to His Majesty the King. The artists of each age have depicted her in unique ways that reflect the ideas and aesthetics of designing. Through every distinct incarnation, Britannia has taken on more layers of meaning. She has come to embody the spirit of the British nation.

Britannia Gold Bullion Coins were added to The Royal Mint’s Bullion portfolio in the year of 1987. Philip Nathan, a medalist and sculpturist, created a distinctive and communally supported interpretation of Britannia. She is standing windswept, in a gown, waves at her feet; trident, shield and olive branch in hand - all symbolising strength and tradition. This design is instantly recognisable in the precious metal market internationally.

As the United Kingdoms's official government-authorised mint, only coins from The Royal Mint offer a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exemption, a feature many experts seek. Additionally, British Britannias act as a legal tender. This ensures our customers have a diverse selection of UK gold coins to choose from.
