About British Britannia Gold Coins
First struck in 1987, the British Britannia Gold coin became an instant success and, alongside the British Gold Sovereign, is a flagship product of the Royal Mint. Made from 99.99% gold content and manufactured to the highest engineering standards, the Britannia gold coin boasts financial and numismatic value, making these extra coins an ideal addition to any investment portfolio.
History Of The British Britannia Gold Coins
Established in 886, the Royal British Mint is the second oldest mint in the world but started manufacturing Britannia gold coins as an investment tool in 1987. The British Britannia gold coin is regarded among the most attractive coins in the world and has a long, illustrious history that adds to its charm and mystery.
The iconic image of the heroic Britannia, the revered ‘Goddess of Protection,’ reflects the personification of Britain as an all-conquering nation throughout its victorious past. Revered since Roman times, the enigmatic goddess first appeared on British coins during the reign of Hadrian in AD 119 and was revived by Charles II in 1672.
When the Royal Mint introduced the British Gold Britannia coin as an investment tool in 1987, the coins were manufactured with a .917 fineness and alloyed with silver. However, advanced technology enabled the Royal Mint to improve its engineering prowess, and since 2013 have been producing Britannia bullion to a fineness of .9999.
Why Buy British Britannia Gold Coins
The gold Britannia coin was the first investment coin in Europe. It eclipsed the success of the Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, and the American Eagle, all of which maintain their status as leading coins and are also eligible for a Gold IRA.
Regarded as the world’s premier mint, Britain’s Royal refinery sets the standards for modern coin manufacturing, craftsmanship, and prestige. Made from 24-karat gold, the Britannia is among the Royal Mint’s finest collections and is backed by the UK Government.
Gold Britannia coins are high in liquidity, and because precious metals have a strong history as an investment vehicle, they are a sensible choice to diversify your investment portfolio. In addition, gold is proven to perform well in an economic downturn and is used by professional traders to hedge against currency-backed investments.
Design Of British Britannia Gold Coins
Britannia enjoys great popularity in the UK but is more than a symbol of protection. Standing in her heroic pose with her trident in hand and wind-swept robe blowing behind her, the Roman Goddess is an iconic image with an enduring presence.
The design has changed several times in the last few years to mark special occasions. Still, the unmistakable portrait of Britannia’s shield bearing the Union Jack rendered by Philip Nathan remains a constant.
On the obverse side of the Britannia gold coins is the bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Coins issued up to 1998 feature the “Third Portrait” of Her Majesty, but since then, the mature “Fourth Portrait” has been featured.
IRA Investment: British Britannia Gold Coins
Only British Gold Britannia coins from 2013 can be used as an investment tool for Gold IRAs. This is because it was in 2013 when the Royal Mint increased the gold content of the Britannia from 22 karats to 24 karats, thus meeting the criteria US investment laws determine gold coins must meet to be considered for a retirement plan.
With high-profit potential due to their popularity and quality of fineness, the prestigious Gold Britannia coins represent an excellent investment choice and are available in four denominations; one-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce, and one-tenth.
Furthermore, Britannia gold coins are recognized internationally and qualify as legal tender in the UK. Because gold can hold value, Britannia gold coins, other British coins, the contemporary Queen’s Beast, and the highly collectible British gold Shengxiao Lunar Series are premium bullion investments that should not be missing from any Gold IRA.
