What are Gold Britannia Coins?
The Gold Britannia is one of the most iconic and respected coins ever produced by The Royal Mint. First introduced in 1987, it represents both British heritage and investment security. Each coin features Britannia, the female embodiment of the nation, a symbol of strength and integrity dating back to Roman times.
Gold Britannia coins are struck from 24-carat fine gold (99.99% purity since 2013) and are available in several denominations, including 1oz, ½oz, ¼oz, and 1/10oz. With new designs released annually, they appeal to both investors and collectors, admired for their artistry as much as their lasting value.
How to Identify Gold Britannia Coins
Authentic Britannia coins are instantly recognisable for their beauty and craftsmanship. Most feature Britannia standing with a trident and shield, though special editions show her in alternate poses. You’ll also find inscriptions of the coin’s weight, gold purity, and the year of issue.
Many collectors own proof editions or boxed gift sets with original certificates, which can further enhance their value. Even if your coins are not boxed, lightly worn, or part of an incomplete set, we can still offer a competitive valuation based on gold content, condition, and collectability.
If you’re unsure about the authenticity or market value of your coins, we can also help you verify them during a private, no-obligation valuation.
We have over 25 years of experience in the trade. Our professional and friendly service focuses on the values of reliability, honesty and trustworthiness. To sell your gold Britannia coins please get in touch with us to book your valuation.

I recently sold three diamond rings to Craig at Burlingtons Jeweller, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Initially, I was quite apprehensive about sending valuable items through the post, but Craig quickly put my mind at ease.
Throughout the entire process, he stayed in touch every step of the way via WhatsApp, providing clear updates and reassurance. True to his word, he processed the payment **the very next day**,His efficiency and professionalism made the transaction smooth and stress-free.
Craig delivered exactly what we agreed upon, with no hassle or unexpected changes—just **excellent service from start to finish**. I will definitely be returning with more items in the coming weeks!

How Much Are Gold Britannia Coins Worth?
The value of a gold Britannia coin depends on several factors, including:
- Age and year of issue
- Condition and presentation
- Rarity of the design or mint mark
- Current gold prices per ounce
- Collector demand
While some Britannia coins trade closely to the live gold price, others, particularly early editions or limited designs, command significant premiums.
We’ll provide an accurate, transparent valuation that reflects both metal value and collector appeal. We also use decades of market knowledge and an international network of collectors to ensure you receive the fairest market-competitive offer.
Why People Choose to Sell Their Gold Britannia Coins
There are many reasons you might consider selling your Britannia coins. Some people inherit them and prefer to convert them into something more meaningful. Others sell to fund property, travel, or investments. Some are simply adjusting their collections or downsizing.
We understand that selling valuable possessions can sometimes be emotional, especially when they carry family history. That’s why we handle interactions with discretion, empathy, and professionalism, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Whatever your reason, we make the experience private, pressure-free, and rewarding, always focused on achieving the best outcome for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are gold Britannias legal tender?
They are legal UK currency, though not used in circulation. Having the status of legal tender also means gold Britannias are exempt from Capital Gains Tax, making them particularly attractive to collectors and investors alike.
Can I sell damaged or incomplete Britannia sets?
Absolutely. Even single coins or incomplete sets hold value, and we will provide a fair valuation for each. However, we must note that damaged coins will be valued more by weight and gold content than anything else.
