2018 Gold Proof Britannia Six Coin Set
The 2018 Britannia is the 31st edition of the flagship gold coin from the United Kingdom. Although mostly sold in bullion form to precious metal investors, the Britannia is available in proof editions for coin collectors, with this product being the six-coin gold proof collection. A recent trend is that every year the reverse design for the proof coin differs from the bullion edition, enhancing the proof Britannia's collectability. Designed by Royal Mint engraver David Lawrence, it shows Right-facing Britannia, wearing a centurion helmet embroidered with the flowers of the UK: the rose, the thistle, the leek and the shamrock. On the obverse, the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is visible, which was designed by Jody Clark. Six gold proof coins make up this set: a 1oz, a 1/2oz, a 1/4oz, a 1/10oz, a 1/20oz and a 1/40oz, giving a combined fine gold weight of 1.925 troy ounces. In contrast to earlier editions of the Britannia, these coins are struck using 0.9999 fine gold (24 carat). During the production process, the Britannias are struck several times using highly polished dies, giving the coins a sharp, mirrored finish. Included with the varnished wooden presentation box are protective coin capsules and a numbered certificate of authenticity. This proof Britannia set has a limited edition presentation of just 220 sets. Exempt for capital gains tax and VAT for UK residents, with the added bonus of free UK delivery with The Britannia Coin Company.
