Buy brand new 2027 gold coins
Our 2027 gold coin collection brings together the latest investment and collectable gold coins available from leading mints, with a particular focus on British coins from The Royal Mint.
For UK investors, new-year coins offer the opportunity to buy the latest edition of established bullion favourites such as the Gold Britannia and Gold Sovereign, alongside selected new and limited releases.
Whether you’re adding to an existing collection, buying gold for the first time or specifically want coins dated 2027, you can compare the latest options above.
Which 2027 gold coins should I buy?
The right coin depends on what matters most to you – value, tax efficiency, size, design or collectability.
2027 Gold Britannia coins
The Gold Britannia is one of the UK’s best-known bullion coins and is particularly popular with British investors.
Modern 1oz Gold Britannias contain one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold and incorporate The Royal Mint’s advanced security features. As British legal tender, Gold Britannias are also exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax.
2027 Gold Sovereign coins
The Gold Sovereign offers a smaller and more affordable way to own physical gold.
Unlike a 24-carat Britannia, Sovereigns are struck in 22-carat gold. A full Sovereign weighs 7.98g and contains approximately 7.32g of pure gold.
Their long history, recognisable St George and the Dragon design and CGT-exempt status make Sovereigns an enduring choice for UK gold buyers.
Other 2027 gold coin releases
We’ll also add selected 2027 commemorative, limited-edition and bullion releases as they become available.
These may include new additions to established Royal Mint collections and other investment-grade coins where we believe they offer genuine appeal to gold buyers.
For investors primarily focused on obtaining the most gold for their money, however, it’s worth comparing the premium on a new 2027 coin with our Best Value Gold Coins, where pre-owned coins can often provide better value.

Are 2027 gold coins VAT-free?
Qualifying investment gold is exempt from VAT in the UK, so investment-grade 2027 gold coins can be purchased without the additional 20% VAT normally applied to many goods.
This is one of the major differences between buying physical gold and physical silver for UK delivery, where VAT will generally apply.
Are 2027 gold coins Capital Gains Tax-free?
It depends on the coin.
Gold coins that are UK legal tender, including Gold Britannias and Sovereigns, are exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax. This can make them particularly useful for investors building larger physical gold holdings where future gains could otherwise exceed the available CGT annual exemption.
Not every gold coin receives this treatment, so don’t assume that a coin is CGT-free simply because it is made from investment gold.
Read our guide to the tax implications of gold and silver.
New 2027 coins or pre-owned gold coins?
There’s no single answer – they serve slightly different buyers.
A brand new 2027 coin may appeal if you want the latest design, are building a date collection or simply prefer buying a newly minted coin.
But if your priority is maximising the amount of gold you receive for your budget, a pre-owned Britannia or Sovereign can often carry a lower premium.
The gold content and CGT status don’t change simply because an eligible bullion coin has had a previous owner.
That’s why we recommend comparing the live price of our 2027 coins with our Best Value Gold Coins before deciding.
