British Gold Coins
Gold is timeless-so is the Royal Mint. At Pacific Precious Metals, our collection of British gold coins features some of the most recognized and historically rich assets in the precious metals world, including the iconic Gold Sovereign and Gold Britannia. Whether you're expanding your portfolio, hedging against economic volatility, or collecting numismatic treasures, British coins offer a legacy of trust, craftsmanship, and value.
Why Choose British Gold Coins?
A Royal Standard Since 1817
The modern British Gold Sovereign, reintroduced during the Great Recoinage of 1817, carries over 200 years of history and global recognition. Originally launched in 1489 under Henry VII, the Sovereign remains a trusted, globally liquid investment backed by centuries of minting tradition.
Crafted by the Royal Mint
Produced by the prestigious Royal Mint, British gold coins feature exquisite designs-such as St. George slaying the dragon or official monarch portraits-while balancing artistic appeal with bullion value. Since 2013, Gold Britannias have been struck in .9999 fine gold, adding investment-grade purity to their detailed craftsmanship. Earlier editions were minted in 22-carat gold (91.67% purity).
Portable, Practical, and Prestigious
Sovereigns and fractional Britannias are smaller than traditional 1 oz coins or bars, making them ideal for investors seeking flexibility. Whether you're planning for generational wealth, diversifying with tangible assets, or simply want a coin that fits in the palm of your hand, these pieces offer historic value in a compact form.
Invest Smart with Sovereigns and Britannias
Gold Sovereign
A 0.2354 troy oz gold coin minted in 22-carat gold (91.67% purity), the Sovereign is renowned for its global liquidity and historic significance. It's a core holding for any precious metals investor seeking versatility and prestige.
Gold Britannia
Struck in .9999 pure gold since 2013, the Britannia is one of the world’s most elegant and trusted bullion coins. Available in 1 oz and fractional sizes, it’s ideal for those who value both beauty and bullion performance.
