2022 Britannia One Ounce Gold Bullion Coin
One ounce gold bullion Britannia for 2022. These British investment coins are offered free from VAT, thanks to their gold content and are Capital Gains Tax exempt as UK legal tender. They were first struck by The Royal Mint in 1987 but the history of Britannia on coins stretches back much further. The female personification of the British Isles has been a feature of our money since Roman times. Her image later appeared on the coinage of King Charles II. 350 years on, Britannia remains a symbol of British identity. She’s shown on this coin garbed in flowing robes, wearing a Corinthian helmet. She holds a trident in one hand and a shield in the other. This design by Philip Nathan has been a perennial presence on this line of bullion coins since they were introduced. A small latent trident/padlock image is included at the bottom left as a security feature. A micro text border reading ‘DECUS ET TUTAMEN’ surrounds the figure. Nathan’s design is paired with Jody Clark’s fifth and final portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II. These 2022 Britannias are among the last bullion coins issued with Her Majesty’s effigy, making them particularly collectible. They’re struck in 31.21 grams of 24-carat (999.9) gold. That equates to an actual gold weight of 31.10 grams. These coins are supplied in a protective sleeve or capsule, protecting the uncirculated bullion finish. Order yours today.
