Compare 1oz Royal Mint Gold Prices
Live 1oz Royal Mint gold prices from trusted UK dealers. This filter combines the global benchmark 1oz weight with The Royal Mint as producer — spanning both 1oz Britannia coins and 1oz Royal Mint minted gold bars.
Two formats under one filter
The Royal Mint produces 1oz gold in two distinct formats: 1oz Britannia coins (£100 face value, UK legal tender) and 1oz Royal Mint minted gold bars (no face value, no legal-tender status). The metal content is the same — exactly one troy ounce of pure 9999 fine gold — but the formats differ in premium and tax treatment. See 1oz Britannia coins or 1oz Royal Mint gold bars for format-specific filtering.
The premium-versus-tax trade-off
1oz Britannia coins typically carry slightly higher premiums than 1oz Royal Mint bars — the standard coin-versus-bar pattern. The offset for UK investors is CGT exemption: Britannias are CGT-exempt as legal tender; Royal Mint bars are not. For long-term holders, the CGT exemption typically outweighs the premium gap; for short-term traders or holders within annual allowance, bars may come out ahead.
The Royal Mint quality signal
Llantrisant production carries an unusually strong authenticity signal in the bullion market. The Royal Mint is sovereign-backed, holds a UK statutory monopoly on coinage, and applies anti-counterfeiting features that are difficult to replicate. For UK investors, Royal Mint origin removes a class of risk that exists with refiner bars from less-known sources.
