The gold Britannia
The gold Britannia is one of the most popular gold bullion coins in the world. Produced by the UK’s Royal Mint, they were launched in 1987 and consist of .9999 purity fine gold.
Exempt from both Capital Gains Tax and VAT, the current year Britannia coins offer an alluring opportunity for both investors and collectors alike.

The Philharmonic is produced by The Austrian Mint, a company with an 800-year history of coin-making that’s located in Vienna and employs more than 200 people.
Paying tribute to Austria’s role in - and love of - the world of classical music, the reverse of the coin features an array of eight detailed musical instruments, including four violins, a cello, a harp, a Viennese horn and the bassoon. The front of the coin features the famous pipe organ from the Goldener Saal (golden hall) of the Viennese Musikverein (musical society).
