2021 1/2 oz Gold Britannia Coin | CGT Free UK Bullion
The 2021 Half Ounce Britannia Gold Coin from The Royal Mint introduced an advanced range of security features designed to enhance authenticity and investor confidence. Incorporating innovative details such as animated surface waves, micro-detailing and a trident-to-padlock latent image, the coin offers exceptional protection against counterfeiting while maintaining the premium quality expected from Britannia bullion.
Struck from 15.55 grams of 999.9 fine gold, this coin contains exactly one-half troy ounce of pure gold and carries a legal tender face value of £50. As official UK currency, Britannia gold coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax, making them a popular choice among British investors.
The obverse displays the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark. The design depicts Her Late Majesty wearing the King George IV State Diadem, traditionally seen during the State Opening of Parliament. On the reverse, Philip Nathan's iconic Britannia artwork returns, a classic design first introduced with the original Britannia series in 1987.
