Britannia 2018 1/2 oz Gold Coin

Britannia represents an enduring Bullion investment. The weight and strength of the coins are verified at the centuries-old annual Trial of the Pyx. Britannia coins are CGT exempt in the United Kingdom and VAT free in the UK and European Community as a UK currency.

Sculptor Philip Nathan, the designer of the first Britannia bullion in 1987, envisaged her as a classic and evolving icon. In this classic design she stands firm against a powerful gale which whips around her shield, Corinthian helmet and olive branch.

Key Points:
Struck to bullion standard
1/2 oz of 999.9 fine gold (24 carat)
VAT free for non VAT registered private individuals
Exempt from capital gains tax for UK residents
Individually packaged in a single coin capsule
