History of the 100 gold Britannia pounds
The 100 gold Britannia pound was the first European gold bullion coin weighing 1 troy ounce and still holds legal tender status in Great Britain today. The gold Britannia is famous in the UK for being exempt from capital gains tax, meaning there is no tax levied on the proceeds from its sale. Therefore, it is considered an excellent investment to secure a tax-free profit.

Minted in pure 24-carat gold, it represents an excellent opportunity for those who want to invest in gold coins, also thanks to its well-known liquidity. It is important to note that 24 carats were introduced in issues from 2013 onwards, while previously it was 916.7 purity gold, i.e., 22 carats. The design impressed on both sides is very refined and appreciated by both investors and collectors. It is produced with advanced minting techniques that make the gold Britannia very secure against potential counterfeiting.

In the market, Britannia coins issued in past years continue to fetch very interesting prices. This coin has always represented a safe haven for anyone looking to introduce diversification elements into their investment portfolio. The nominal value of the 1-ounce Britannia is 100 pounds, although naturally the real market value is much higher.
