What Is Frankenstein?

Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus is a ground-breaking novel, considered to be a masterpiece of 19th century Gothicism. Written by Mary Shelley between 1816-1817 and first inspired by a stay near Lake Geneva, Switzerland.

The novel follows the young Swiss scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who has become obsessed with discovering the secret of life. During his experiments, Victor finally succeeds in creating a living being by assembling and reanimating parts of human corpses.

However, when the creature finally comes to life, Victor is horrified by his creation and abandons it.

What Is Bullion?

Bullion refers to precious metals like gold and silver, valued primarily for their weight and purity. It’s typically bought as coins or bars and traded close to its intrinsic metal value. This is irrespective of the coin's condition, unlike proof and uncirculated products, that may have a value above the intrinsic price.

More information can be found on our blog page, What is Bullion?

What Is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a form of levies imposed on the profit garnered from the sale of assets, such as real estate, investments, and collectibles. In the United Kingdom, the present CGT allowance is £3,000 per annum per individual, which implies that one can earn up to £3,000 from the sale of assets prior to being subject to CGT. Read our CGT guide for more information to see what bullion coins are exempt from CGT and the ones which are.
