Gold Britannia
Weight: 1 oz
Produced in Wales by the Royal Mint (founded in 886), Gold Britannia coins have been 24 carat gold since the 2013 edition. The 1oz coin carries a nominal value of £100, and is treated as currency in the United Kingdom. Britannias are popular with investors seeking to purchase coins with a purity of 999.9/1000, which differentiates the coin from 22 carat coins such as the Krugerrand and the American Eagle.
