Why choose a 1/2 oz gold coin?

A recognised fractional gold bullion size

A 1/2 oz gold bullion coin contains half a troy ounce (15.5517 grams) of fine gold and is one of the most widely recognised fractional bullion coin sizes available. Fractional gold coins offer an alternative size option for customers looking to purchase gold bullion in a smaller format.

The Royal Mint produces 1/2 oz gold bullion coins featuring our Britannia design, with each coin struck to defined weight and purity standards.

UK tax treatment of gold bullion

Investment gold is exempt from VAT in the UK under current legislation. In addition, UK legal tender gold bullion coins produced by The Royal Mint are exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for UK taxpayers under current UK tax rules.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
