What is Bullion?
Bullion refers to precious metals valued primarily according to their metal content and purity. Gold, silver and platinum bullion is available in different forms, including coins and bars, with the value of a product reflecting the quantity of precious metal it contains alongside any applicable premium.
Gold Bullion
Gold bullion is available as both coins and bars, with The Royal Mint offering a selection of weights and designs. Our gold bullion coins include the iconic Britannia and Sovereign ranges, alongside a selection of other designs. Gold bars are available in a range of weights, including 1g, 5g, 10g, 20g and 1oz formats.
Qualifying investment gold is exempt from VAT in the UK under current legislation. Tax treatment can vary depending on the product and individual circumstances.
Silver Bullion
Silver bullion is available in coins and bars, offering a range of weights and designs. The Royal Mint's silver bullion collection includes established designs alongside themed ranges, with products available in different formats and quantities.
Unlike qualifying investment gold, silver bullion is generally subject to VAT in the UK. The applicable tax treatment can depend on the product and circumstances.
Platinum Bullion
Platinum bullion provides another way to own physical precious metal, available from The Royal Mint in selected coin and bar formats. Our platinum bullion products are produced to defined standards for weight, purity and quality.
Bullion Coins and Bars
Bullion coins and bars are available in a variety of weights, allowing you to choose from different quantities of precious metal. Gold bullion coins are available in fractional-ounce and 1oz formats, while gold bars range from smaller gram weights to larger formats. Silver and platinum bullion are also available in selected weights and designs.
Bullion Prices
Bullion prices are based on live precious metal prices, with an applicable premium added to the cost of the metal. As precious metal prices can change, bullion prices may fluctuate and product prices can refresh during the purchasing process.
Buy and Store Bullion
Purchase physical bullion directly from The Royal Mint and choose delivery or secure storage where available. Bullion stored in The Vault® is fully insured against physical loss, damage or theft, with storage provided at The Royal Mint's secure facility. Eligible bullion can also be sold back to The Royal Mint through its Buy Back Service.
