History of Britannia

Today, the Britannia is the UK's most popular 1 oz bullion coin, manufactured by The Royal Mint since 1987 in gold and since 1997 in silver. For more information on UK Britannia bullion coins, you can read our blog, which details the history of the Britannia since its adoption.

King Charles III Britannia Coins

Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022, The Royal Mint released two versions of the 2023 Britannia coins: one featuring Queen Elizabeth II's fifth portrait and another with the uncrowned portrait of King Charles III.

The new portrait, crafted by renowned sculptor and engraver Martin Jennings, debuted on the 2023 King Charles III Britannia coin range and is now featured on the 2024 Britannia one ounce gold coin as well as the entire 2024 Britannia coin series.

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 individual, which implies that one can earn up to £3,000 from the sale of assets prior to being subject to CGT.

For UK residents, bullion coins which are UK legal tender pound sterling coins are exempt from capital gains tax (CGT).
