Invest in the 1oz Britannia Gold Coin (1987–2012)

Since 1987, the Royal Mint has minted the 1oz Britannia Gold Coin, a renowned investment classic. From 1987 to 2012, it was crafted in 22-karat gold (916.66/1000), initially as a red gold alloy (gold and copper) until 1989, then as a yellow gold alloy (gold, silver, copper) until 2012. With a fine weight of 31.1g (total weight 33.93g), it offers durability. The obverse depicts Britannia, the British goddess of liberty, with a trident, shield, and helmet, often surrounded by waves. Annual design variations enhance its appeal to collectors. The reverse features Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, with inscriptions “ELIZABETH II” and “50 POUNDS”. The coin also bears “ONE OUNCE FINE GOLD BRITANNIA”.
