2027 1 oz Gold Britannia Coin BU

2027 1 oz Gold Britannia Coin BU

Britannia has appeared on British coinage since 1672, and for centuries she has stood as the personification of the nation. In 1987, The Royal Mint gave her a new role as the face of Britain's own gold bullion coin, designed to compete with established favorites like the Krugerrand, American Gold Eagle, and Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. Nearly four decades later, the Gold Britannia ranks among the most trusted gold coins in the world.

The 2027 1 oz Gold Britannia Coin BU marks a milestone for the series: 2027 is the 40th anniversary of the gold Britannia's introduction. To celebrate, The Royal Mint has updated the classic design with a special 40 privy mark set in a wave motif and a textured background that highlights the anniversary number. Each coin contains 1 troy oz of .9999 fine gold and carries a £100 face value as legal tender in the United Kingdom.

The gold Britannia has come a long way since its debut. Early issues were struck in 22 karat gold, but since 2013, The Royal Mint has produced the coin in 24 karat .9999 fine gold, putting it on par with the purest bullion coins available. For American stackers, the 2027 anniversary issue offers a great way to add a respected sovereign gold coin with a one-year-only design to their holdings.

The Design

The obverse features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings.

The reverse brings back the design that started it all: Philip Nathan's classically inspired portrait of Britannia, first created for the 1987 debut of the gold coin. Britannia stands tall, carrying symbols chosen to represent the strengths of the nation: a shield for protection, an olive branch for peace, and a trident for Britain's long connection to the sea. For 2027, Nathan's design is joined by a 40 privy mark framed in a wave pattern, along with a textured background built around the anniversary number, giving this year's coin a look all its own.
