Why choose a 1 oz gold coin?

The Standard in Bullion

A 1 oz gold bullion coin contains one troy ounce (31.1035 grams) of fine gold and is one of the most widely recognised bullion coin sizes available. Whether you're new to precious metals or adding to an existing holding, 1 oz gold coins are a popular choice thanks to their standard weight, broad availability and internationally recognised specifications.

The Royal Mint offers a range of 1 oz gold bullion coins featuring iconic British designs, including Britannia, The Royal Arms and The Royal Tudor Beasts, struck to exacting quality standards.

UK Tax Treatment

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.

Expertly Crafted by The Royal Mint

The Royal Mint has been producing coins for more than 1,100 years. Every 1 oz gold bullion coin is struck using carefully controlled manufacturing processes and is produced to defined weight and purity specifications.

As part of our quality assurance procedures, samples from newly issued coins are independently tested through the annual Trial of the Pyx, helping to verify that they meet the required standards for weight, composition and quality offering bullion investors peace of mind
