Specifications
2024 King Charles Gold 1/2oz Britannia Coin
This is the second issue of the 1/2 oz Gold Britannia featuring the new portrait of King Charles III on its obverse, as depicted by designer Martin Jennings. This replaces the recent 2023 Coronation version which included the King with a Coronation crown.
The Britannia remains the most popular coin for collectors and investors alike since its introduction in 1987. This is a brand-new bullion coin issued by The Royal Mint.
The Britannia is produced in a variety of sizes ranging from the tiny tenth ounce, to the Sovereign-sixed quarter ounce, the half ounce and the large 1oz coin. The Mint also produces the 1oz coin in fine silver for the past two decades, which like the gold version, is a favourite amongst UK investors.
This Gold Half Ounce coin is struck in 999.9 fineness 24 carat gold. The coin was originally launched in 1987 as a 22-carat coin, with an alloy mix of copper and silver for optimum resilience. However, the purity was increased to 24-carat from 2013 to appeal to the growingly important Asian market.
This 1/2oz version of the full Britannia is identical in design to the 1oz version, containing the well-known Philip Nathan design of Britannia on one side and the new Martin Jennings portrait of King Charles III.
It has a face value of £50 which qualifies it as legal tender and therefore any value gains are completely free from any Capital Gains Tax.
