1999 Britannia Tenth Ounce Gold Proof Coin
This pre-owned 1999 tenth ounce gold proof Britannia has a limited edition presentation of just 1,058. In contrast to the more recent releases of the proof Britannias, this edition features Philip Nathan’s classic ‘Standing Britannia’ design which first appeared in 1987. Nathan’s design has become an icon of The Royal Mint, with the reverse showing a helmeted Britannia holding a trident, shield and olive branch: both warrior, defender and peacemaker. This memorable engraving is paired with Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Elizabeth II on the obverse, which is the fourth official coin engraving of The Queen to appear on British coinage. Unlike Britannias issued after 2012, this 1999 Britannia is composed of 22 parts gold out of 24, with the other 2 parts being silver. This gives the 1/10oz gold coin a total weight of 3.41 grams, measuring 16.50 millimetres in diameter. As UK Pound Sterling currency with a legal tender value of £10 / Ten Pounds, this Royal Mint collectable coin is exempt from capital gains tax, with the added bonus of also being VAT free. It's struck numerous times using hand-polished dies to give a top-quality proof finish, which is perfect for coin collectors. This pre-owned coin is issued in the original wooden presentation case from The Royal Mint with a numbered certificate of authenticity. Our price includes free delivery to UK addresses.
