One of the most prominent gold bullion coins in Europe and around the world is the Gold Britannia. Introduced in 1987, the British Gold Britannia coins featured copper and silver as a non-gold component until 2013 when the Royal Mint of England upgraded the coins to .9999 pure gold content. Today, 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coins are available to you online from JM Bullion with a PCGS or NGC certification.

From 1987 to 2012, the Royal Mint of England offered the Gold Britannia with .9167 gold content, better known as 22-karat gold. In 2013, the Gold Britannia series was updated to feature .9999 pure gold content, or 24-karat gold. With the exception of the 2013 1 oz Gold Britannia, all of the coins in the series maintained the same diameter size across the switch over from 22-karat gold content to 24-karat gold content.

All 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coins in this product listing are available to you with a Mint State 69 certification from either the Professional Coin Grading Service or the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. Coins in this condition have full, original mint luster with a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. Acceptable flaws at this level include minuscule contact marks or hairlines found only outside of the primary focal points of the coin.

The obverse of 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coins features the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty has featured on the obverse of British coins throughout her reign. Coins in this listing feature either the Raphael Maklouf third-generation design (1987-1997), the Ian Rank-Broadley fourth-generation design (1998-2015), or the Jody Clark design on all coins dated 2016 or later.

On the reverse of British Gold Britannia Coins is the same design of Britannia created in 1987 by Philip Nathan. This design of Britannia is one of the most powerful depictions of the personification of the British people. Britannia stands at the coast of Britain with her trident in one hand and the shield with the Union Jack in the other hand.
