The 2026 Britannia release
The Royal Mint typically begins striking next-year Britannias in autumn of the preceding year, with dealer stocks appearing in the UK retail market through Q4. 2026-dated Britannias therefore become widely available from late 2025, alongside the still-current 2025 stock. For investors prioritising fresh-from-mint condition with the latest year, 2026 stock is the natural choice from late 2025 onwards.
What's continuous from 2025 to 2026
2026 gold Britannias retain identical specifications to 2025 issues across the full weight range: 9999 fine gold, the Nathan Britannia reverse, the Charles III obverse by Martin Jennings (introduced in 2023), and the four integrated anti-counterfeiting features struck into every coin from 2021 onwards. Year of issue is the only variable between consecutive recent Britannias.
2026 across the Britannia range
The Royal Mint produces 2026 Britannias in the four standard bullion weights: 1oz (£100 face value), 1/2oz (£50), 1/4oz (£25), and 1/10oz (£10). Bullion-grade availability is typically deepest at 1oz, with fractional sizes appearing in lower volume.
Tax efficiency
2026 gold Britannias qualify for the same dual exemption as every recent year: VAT-exempt as investment gold and CGT-exempt as UK legal tender. Year of issue has no effect on either treatment.

1/10oz Britannia specifications
The 1/10oz gold Britannia weighs 3.13g overall, containing exactly 3.11g of pure gold (0.1 troy oz at 9999 fineness). It measures 16.50mm in diameter and is 1.10mm thick. The £10 face value secures UK legal-tender status — sufficient to confer CGT exemption regardless of how nominally small it is relative to the coin's metal value. Like all gold Britannias, it is produced exclusively by The Royal Mint at Llantrisant.
The entry-level CGT-exempt gold position
At current spot gold prices, a 1/10oz Britannia represents the most accessible price point for UK CGT-exempt gold coin investment. The format suits investors building positions in small increments, gifting at lower absolute price points, and testing the CGT-exempt coin format before committing to larger weights. The exemption applies identically to 1/10oz and 1oz — only the per-coin metal commitment differs.
The fractional premium structure at 1/10oz
1/10oz gold premiums are the highest in the Britannia weight range — typically 12-20% over spot. Fixed production cost spread across just 3.11g of metal produces meaningfully higher percentage premiums than larger weights. For pure metal-per-pound efficiency, 1/10oz is the least efficient Britannia weight; the format earns its place through accessibility and divisibility rather than premium economics.
Anti-counterfeiting at the smallest weight
1/10oz gold Britannias from 2021 onwards carry the full security feature set despite the small coin size: micro-text edge lettering, latent imaging, surface animation, radial sunburst lines. The features are struck during production at the same precision as larger weights — meaningful at fractional sizes where authentication concerns are typically higher.
