2022 1/2oz Britannia Gold Coin in Blister | The Royal Mint Information
The 2022 half ounce Britannia contains 15.55 grams of 999.9 fine Gold and has a face value of £50. Due to the coin's Legal tender status it is Capital Gains Tax Free. The obverse of the coin depicts HM Queen Elizabeth II with the latest image of Britannia armed with a trident and shield to the reverse.
The 2022 issue coins bear the same basic design as the 2021 coins with Philip Nathan’s Britannia and Jody Clark’s latest portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
This coin is enclosed in official blister packaging for additional protection during transportation and storage.
Britannia's are the UK’s flagship bullion coins and the new mintage incorporates some subtle but beautiful high-tech changes to produce four new security features:
- Animation Illusion - tiny detail on the coin creates an illusion of moving waves in the image behind Britannia as the coin is moved.
- Tincture lines - a traditional method of suggesting colours and patterns on the surface of precious metals.
- A latent image - similar to a holographic effect with a small image that changes from a padlock to a trident depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
- Micro-engraving - modern laser technology used to incorporate tiny lettering in the coin design which cannot be replicated by conventional minting methods.
The result of these innovations is a mintage of beautiful coins that provide recognisable security features that would be incredibly difficult and expensive to copy. The 2022 Britannia has already generated interest from around the world and looks set to become the most popular Royal Mint Britannia offering yet.
Also available in: 1/10oz, 1/4oz and 1oz sizes.
You can also purchase these coins individually here.
