About British Gold Coins

Investors often include gold in a diversified portfolio to balance out more volatile investments. When markets decline, gold typically rises as investors seek safe-haven assets. Holding gold long-term can therefore help increase portfolio value and provide protection against volatility in other asset classes. A variety of gold coins and bars are available from both private and government-owned facilities, with the Royal Mint being one of the most sought-after producers of gold products .

Multiple investment coins are made by the Royal Mint, and most of them come out once a year. For example, the Britannia and Sovereign are beautifully designed and made with high standards. When investors buy limited sets like the Queen's Beasts and Lunar Collections, they can own something a little different that is also very collectable because only a certain number of coins were made. There is widespread recognition of the Bullion coins produced by The Royal Mint, and they are easily tradable based on both their metal content and their reputation. The designs on these coins will never go out of style, and the historical themes will make them valuable for generations to come. Below you can find a complete collection of the British Gold Coins available at Au Bullion.

Royal Mint UK Britannia Coins

This bullion coin is exceptionally secure due to four innovative features. The coin’s latent image turns from a padlock to Britannia’s iconic trident. The background of waves comes to life with surface animation. The micro text serves as decoration as well as protection. The Union flag is shown on Britannia’s shield, highlighted with tincture lines. Its security features are micro-text, Latent feature, Surface movement, and Tincture lines. Philip Nathan is the reverse designer, while Jody Clark is the obverse designer.

Unique Royal Mint UK Britannia Coins

The most distinctive Britannia coins are those in the Proof Britannia series.

Royal Mint UK Tudor Beasts Coin Series

The Royal Mint of England has an all-new collection of silver and gold coins for sale celebrating the history of the monarchy. Unlike the previous Queen’s Beasts Series from 2016-2021, the new Tudor Beasts Series focuses on the infamous Tudor dynasty that ruled the throne of England from 1485 to 1603. Producing some of the most well-known monarchs in British history, this series offers a beautiful look at the Tudors.

Designs to date include:

1. Seymour Panther
2. Lion of England
3. Yale of Beaufort
4. Bull of Clarence

Please note that the Royal Mint debuted the Seymour Panther as the first proof coin, but has yet to feature it in the BU Series. As such, the proof coins feature all designs mentioned above in order, while the BU Series starts with the Lion of England.

Royal Mint UK Royal Arms Coin Series

In 2019, the Royal Mint UK introduced a new gold coin featuring the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom on the reverse. This iconic emblem, known as the Royal Arms, serves as the official seal for both the UK and its reigning monarch. Designed by Timothy Noad, the coin's reverse displays a crowned shield quartered to include the coats of arms of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland: the Three Lions of England, the Lion of Scotland, and the Harp of Ireland. The Imperial State Crown sits above the shield, flanked by the Lion of England on the left and the Unicorn of Scotland on the right.

The Royal Arms has been in use since 1837, beginning with Queen Victoria's reign. The current version is carried by Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch since her ascension in 1952.
