Compare live Royal Mint Britannia prices from trusted UK dealers — gold and silver, every weight. All Britannias are exclusively Royal Mint output, struck at Llantrisant with integrated anti-counterfeiting security features.
The Britannia programme at Llantrisant
The Royal Mint produces all Britannia coinage at its Llantrisant facility in South Wales. Gold Britannias have been in continuous production since 1987, with the alloy transitioning from 22-carat to 9999 fine in 2013. Silver Britannias launched in 1997 at 958 fine and transitioned to 999 fine in 2013. All Britannia output carries the Royal Mint's serial authentication and the standard Nathan Britannia reverse.
Integrated security features across the range
From 2021, every gold and silver Britannia carries four integrated anti-counterfeiting features struck into the coin during production: micro-text edge lettering spelling 'DECUS ET TUTAMEN', surface animation visible as a moving wave pattern under angled light, latent imaging that switches between Britannia's trident and a padlock symbol when tilted, and radial sunburst lines on the field. These cannot be added post-strike, which makes them difficult to replicate.
The full Royal Mint Britannia range
Gold Britannias are produced in 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz weights at 9999 fineness. Silver Britannias are produced at 1oz as the standard format at 999 fineness, with larger and smaller silver weights appearing as commemoratives.
UK tax position
All Royal Mint Britannias qualify for UK legal-tender status (£100 face value on 1oz gold, scaled accordingly on fractional gold; £2 face value on 1oz silver) and therefore for CGT exemption. Gold Britannias are additionally VAT-exempt as investment gold; silver Britannias carry 20% VAT on purchase but retain the CGT advantage.
