Compare 1/10oz Bullion Prices
Compare live prices on 1/10oz bullion from trusted UK dealers. At one-tenth of a troy ounce, this is the smallest fractional bullion coin in the standard ounce series — typically chosen by investors prioritising accessibility and divisibility over premium efficiency.
The fractional trade-off
1/10oz coins offer the lowest absolute purchase price in the gold ounce series, but carry the highest premium per gram of any fractional weight. This is because minting costs are largely fixed per coin — striking ten 1/10oz coins costs more than striking one 1oz coin, and that cost is passed on as a higher percentage premium. Investors typically accept this premium as the price of flexibility: 1/10oz coins are easier to part-liquidate than 1oz coins of equivalent total value.
Why investors choose 1/10oz
The format suits regular savers building a position in small increments, gift-givers, and investors who want the optionality to sell partial holdings without liquidating a full ounce. It also functions well as a hedge for those uncertain about market timing — buying smaller increments smooths cost basis over time.
UK tax position
Investment gold at 1/10oz is VAT-exempt under HMRC rules. Where the coin is UK legal tender — for example, the 1/10oz Britannia — it also qualifies for capital gains tax exemption. This combination makes fractional UK Britannias particularly tax-efficient relative to fractional coins from other countries.
