• The Royal Mint has today launched its latest bullion coins from the 2024 Britannia Collection: the 1kg silver, 1/4oz silver, 1/10oz silver and 1oz platinum editions

The Royal Mint has launched the 1kg silver, 1/4oz silver, 1/10oz silver and 1oz platinum editions from the 2024 Britannia bullion coin range: the World’s most visually secure coin.

The latest coins join the full gold editions and the 1oz silver edition which were released in September and were the first to launch in the 2024 range.

Bullion coins are traditionally popular with investors and collectors alike and are an alternative to holding precious metals in bars. Britannia is the world’s most visually secure bullion coin, with four visual security features enabling customers to verify the product is authentic by rotating it in the light.

Britannia has long featured on British coins and has been The Royal Mint’s flagship bullion coin since it was first introduced in 1987. The design was created by sculptor Philip Nathan, who was challenged with creating the stunning incarnation of Britannia for a new bullion coin.

His beautifully bold Britannia is presented with carefully chosen symbols to reflect the nation’s values – a shield for protection, an olive branch for peace and a trident for her maritime links. The internationally recognised design is highly regarded and only The Royal Mint is able to strike Britannia coins featuring Philip Nathan’s 1987 interpretation of the icon.

Andrew Dickey, Director of Precious Metals for The Royal Mint, said: “Investors and collectors can now add the 1kg silver, 1/4oz silver, 1/10oz silver and 1oz platinum editions from the 2024 Britannia bullion range to their portfolios. Distinguished by its advanced security features and traditional design, the Britannia provides a distinctive appeal to both seasoned investors and enthusiasts looking to enrich their portfolios with a timeless investment."

Britannia bullion coins are renowned for their reliability, and Gold Britannia coins are VAT free for non-VAT registered private individuals and UK capital gains tax free for UK residents only, due to being legal tender.

The Britannia bullion range is available to order from The Royal Mint’s website now:
