At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we specialize in acquiring British Gold Bullion Coins from collectors, investors, and estates across the UK. We buy gold coins produced by the Royal Mint and other recognized mints, including both historic and modern designs. Gold bars and coins are offered by both private and sovereign facilities, with the Royal Mint standing out as one of the most renowned producers of gold products.
The British Gold Sovereign is one of the most recognized gold coins in the world. Introduced in 1817 during the Great Recoinage, it was once a circulating currency in the United Kingdom and remains a collector’s favorite today.
We purchase modern bullion versions as well as older historic sovereigns, including those featuring Queen Elizabeth II and the newer King Charles III portrait introduced in 2023. Modern sovereigns are struck in 22-karat gold with a 91.67% gold content and often display Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic 1817 depiction of St. George slaying the dragon. Commemorative issues with alternative reverse designs are also highly sought after.
The British Gold Britannia coin is the flagship gold bullion offering from the Royal Mint and holds a prestigious place in the world of precious metals. First introduced in 1987, these coins initially featured a gold content of .917 fine gold. Since 2013, they have been struck in 24-karat pure gold with a .9999 fine gold content, making them a favourite among investors and collectors.
As the Gold Britannia belongs to the same program as the Silver Britannia and even served as its inspiration, both collections share the same core design concepts. The only variations over time have been changes to the obverse portrait of the reigning monarch. Key details include:
The Proof Britannia Series offers exclusive designs that vary annually. We acquire all proof issues, from early editions to the latest artist interpretations of Britannia in different settings.
The British Gold Britannia is one of the world’s most popular gold bullion coins. Produced by the Royal Mint of England each year since 1987, a significant update arrived in 2020. This change did not affect the coin’s design or gold content but introduced the option to sell these coins in the secure MintID blister card.
MintID uses advanced NFC microchip and encryption technology to provide the highest level of security for gold bullion. The 2020 British Gold Britannia Coins with MintID packaging are Brilliant Uncirculated specimens from the Royal Mint series, housed in a capsule at the center of a blue blister card. The blister card contains a tamper-evident NFC microchip that will deactivate if altered in any way. Once disabled, the chip cannot be scanned successfully. Each microchip is protected by 128-bit encryption and connected to one unique profile stored securely in the cloud.
With the MintID app, authentication is instant and effortless. No personal or financial details are required; simply open the app and hold your phone to the NFC chip on the blister card to confirm the authenticity of your coin.
The Myths & Legends Series from the Royal Mint features legendary British figures in gold coin form. We purchase all issues in the series, including:
We buy Shengxiao Series gold coins, celebrating the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Released annually since 2014, each coin features the zodiac animal for that year, making them popular among both collectors and investors.
The Queen’s Beast Collection is one of the most remarkable series of silver and gold coins ever produced by the Royal Mint. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we are actively seeking to purchase these coins from collectors, investors, and estates. This planned 10-design series showcases the heraldic animals that appeared during the coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II. The collection includes 1 oz gold coins, 1/4 oz gold coins, and the Royal Mint’s first-ever 2 oz silver bullion coin. Later releases expanded to feature 10-oz silver and 1-oz platinum coins.
The series began in 2016 with the Queen’s Beast Lion coin, available across the mentioned versions. The lion holds great symbolic importance within the British monarchy’s heraldic shield. Its position reflects the mood or authority of the monarch; for example, when shown in a passant position, the lion is depicted walking with its right forepaw raised.
Like the Britannia program, the Queen’s Beast Lion coins maintain the same obverse and reverse designs regardless of metal content. Key design elements include:
Coins in the Queen’s Beast Collection include:
The Tudor Beasts Series is a distinguished collection of silver and gold coins from the Royal Mint of England, and at DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we are interested in purchasing these coins from sellers across the UK. This series celebrates the legacy of the Tudor dynasty, which ruled England from 1485 to 1603 and produced some of the nation’s most renowned monarchs. Each coin in the series highlights a heraldic beast connected to this influential era in British history.
Designs in the series include:
The Seymour Panther was introduced as the first proof coin in the collection, but it has yet to appear in the Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) range. The BU Series began with the Lion of England and continues to showcase these historic and symbolic beasts in exceptional detail.
In 2019, the Royal Mint of England introduced a gold coin featuring the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom on the reverse. Known as the Royal Arms, this emblem is the official seal of both the United Kingdom and its reigning monarch. The modern Royal Arms of England, in use since 1837 during the reign of Queen Victoria, were carried by Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned from 1952 until 2022 and remains the longest-serving monarch in British history.
The reverse of the British Gold Royal Arms Coin presents Timothy Noad’s design of the crowned, quartered shield. The first and fourth quadrants feature the Three Lions of England, the second quadrant holds the Lion of Scotland, and the third quadrant displays the Harp of Ireland. Above the shield rests the Imperial State Crown, with the Lion of England supporting the shield on the left and the Unicorn of Scotland on the right.
The series began in 2019 with a 1 oz gold coin and expanded in 2020 to include a 1/10 oz gold coin.
Founded in 886 as the London Mint, the Royal Mint is one of the world’s oldest continuously operating mints. Over the centuries, it has produced coins that circulated across vast regions of the globe, a reflection of the reach of the British Empire. Royal Mint coins were once used in territories from North America and Europe to Australia, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Today, the Royal Mint continues to be a leading coin producer, with its most iconic product being the Britannia series. The reverse of each Britannia coin features the image of the legendary Britannia, a protective figure from Roman mythology, holding a trident in one hand and a shield bearing the Union Jack, her gaze fixed across the English Channel.
