British Gold coins are global benchmarks for security, liquidity, and 1,100 years of minting heritage. BOLD Precious Metals is a licensed dealer in the US and provides real-time competitive pricing and the lowest premiums on the entire gold bullion range of the Royal Mint. Clients can purchase a safe holding with us in their personal vault or Precious Metals IRA.
To view a specific weight, years, and actual price, enter the series below:
The .9999 fine gold flagship, widely known as the most secure bullion coin globally. Ideal for 1 oz gold stacking, while also being fully IRA eligible for long-term investment portfolios.
These limited-issue coins are minted in .9999 purity and carry strong numismatic value, making them ideal for investors expecting appreciation beyond spot price over long-term holding periods.
The 22k historical gold standard, perfect for fractional stacking and portable wealth, offering trusted liquidity, global recognition, and an ideal balance between affordability and long-term investment security.
Although they are both minted by the Royal Mint, they are used to fulfill various investment objectives. Investors interested in the purest (.9999) for tax-favored accounts such as Precious Metals IRA, pick the Gold Britannia. On the other hand, the Gold Sovereign is a historical 22k "Crown Gold" coin, which is highly sought after due to its durability and size (fractional), which enables one to purchase smaller pieces of gold that cannot be scratched.
Although generic bars are often used as a starting point, British coinage has a better technical performance and security:
The new Modern British bullion has four layers of security, such as surface animation and microtext; it is the hardest coin in the world to duplicate.
Royal Mint products are accepted by LBMA-approved wholesalers in every corner of the globe; thus, you are guaranteed the best possible “Sell to Us” value when liquidating your assets.
Choose between a range of purities, all the way to the investment-grade level of .9999 fine gold of the Britannia and Tudor Beasts, down to the rough, historical gold of 22k known as the Crown Gold, available in fractional British coinage.

By 2021, the Royal Mint had included 4 security features: a latent image changing between padlock and trident, surface animation, micro-text inscriptions, and tincture lines on the Union shield.
The IRS sets a minimum of purity of .995. The Gold Britannia and Tudor Beasts series (.9999) is up to this standard. The Gold Sovereign is not typically included because its 22k (.9167) purity is lower than the one required by the IRS.
The Tudor Beasts is a series of 10 coins on the subject of the stone animals in Hampton Court Palace. These coins have fine gold of 0.9999 content, hence rendering it not only a beautiful collectible but also a good IRA-eligible investment option.
The British government ensures the weight, purity, and legal tender status. To make sure that you have 100 per cent genuine investment, we check all coinage against Sigma Metalytics at BOLD.
