2027 1/4 oz Gold Britannia Coin BU

2027 1/4 oz Gold Britannia Coin BU

The figure of Britannia has watched over British coinage since the 17th century, but it was in 1987 that The Royal Mint made her the centerpiece of a dedicated gold bullion coin. Built to give Britain a rival to the world's leading gold coins, the gold Britannia has since earned a reputation for purity, quality, and global recognition.

In 2027, the series turns 40, and The Royal Mint is marking the occasion with a special one-year design. The 2027 1/4 oz Gold Britannia Coin BU features a 40 privy mark framed by waves, set against a textured background that showcases the anniversary number. Each coin is struck from 1/4 troy oz of .9999 fine gold and is legal tender in the United Kingdom with a face value of £25.

Quarter-ounce gold coins are a popular choice for stackers who want to buy gold in manageable amounts without stepping all the way down to the smallest fractional sizes. They are also easy to trade or sell in smaller portions, and this anniversary edition adds a collectible element that standard-year coins do not have.

Standing with confidence, Britannia holds a trident that speaks to the nation's history on the seas, a shield symbolizing protection, and an olive branch symbolizing peace. The 2027 edition sets her against a textured background that brings the anniversary number into the design and adds a 40 privy mark surrounded by waves, making this a coin unique to the 40th anniversary year.
