Gold Storage or Delivery?

<h2>2019 Tax Year End</h2>
With the tax year end upon us, now’s the time that many take a hard look at their finances and make investment decisions for the following year. But if you’re one of the savvy investors already owning physical gold, then you’ll know <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-tax-free-gold/">buying gold</a> and silver aren’t affected by the tax deadline.
<h2>Tax year-end brings a fresh start</h2>
If your money is currently in an ISA or savings account, then the tax year end might have you rethinking your investments and considering gold (or silver).

If you’re one of the thousands of investors wanting to move your money around, to reduce your tax exposure and maximise your gains, this article will provide insight into some important tax considerations, which every investor should know about.

<h2>ISAs are limited tax-free investments</h2>
Many investors just think of <a href="https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/ISA-guide-savings-without-tax">ISAs</a> as tax-free investments, when in reality, they’re <em>limited</em> tax-free investments – meaning there’s an upper limit to how much you can save. <a href="https://www.which.co.uk/news/2018/11/autumn-budget-2018-youll-be-able-to-earn-21750-tax-free-in-2019-20/">The ISA limit for 2019/2020 remains at £20,000 maximum</a>, but you can’t roll over any unused portion to the next year, so you have to use it or lose it.

[caption id="attachment_14936" align="aligncenter" width="550"]<img class="size-full wp-image-14936" src="https://pgprelive-c801.kxcdn.com/media/2017/04/British-Tax-Flag-002.jpg" alt="Tax Year End" width="550" height="275" data-id="14936" /> Keep TAX rates down with UK Gold[/caption]
<h2>Regular savings accounts are taxed</h2>
If your money is in an old fashioned, regular savings account, you’ll be charged a tax on any interest it generates. This makes a savings account quite unappealing for those who’ve already maxed out their ISAs. Especially with the <a href="https://www.finder.com/uk/savings-accounts">highest available rates being around 1.5%</a> and the majority of interest rates currently yielding sub-1% even before tax!
<h2>Capital Gains Taxes on assets you sell</h2>
If you’re looking into selling an asset or Buy-to-Let property that you own, you’ll likely end up paying <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/capital-gains-tax-all-you-need-to-know/">Capital Gains Tax</a> on the profits of that sale. This is especially true for those who’ve already reached their CGT allowance for the year. Many forms of Gold, on the other hand, are actually CGT free.
<h2>The lifetime allowance could affect your pension</h2>
The lifetime allowance, which was previously reduced from £1.25 million to £1 million, <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/7-crucial-considerations-guide/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5773" src="https://pgprelive-c801.kxcdn.com/media/2016/08/PHYS01_Animated_Gif_2_MPU.gif" alt="PHYS01_Animated_Gif_2_MPU" width="300" height="250" data-id="5773" /></a>is a limit on the value of payments on your pension and could affect many people who’ve already reached this new allowance total. If you’ve saved into your pension throughout your working life, you could already be at this limit and you’ll be taxed heavier than in previous years. Check the <a href="https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/the-lifetime-allowance-for-pension-savings">Money Advice Service</a> dedicated page for the latest allowance rates and related information.
<h2>UK Gold Coins have no Capital Gains Tax and no VAT</h2>
Physical gold has always been a worthy investment and <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-tax-free-gold/">gold investments</a> make a great addition to any portfolio. Due to there being no upper limit on how much you can purchase in a year and certain forms of gold falling into the bracket for <strong>CGT and VAT free investments</strong>, it is looked on favourably by many investors. Currently, all bullion coins that are classed as legal tender in the UK which includes coins such as gold Sovereigns and gold Britannias, are CGT exempt. They are also VAT free providing the coins were minted after 1800 and classified as legal tender.

Produced by the Royal Mint as part of their esteemed <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/queens-beasts-gold-coins/">Queens Beast series</a>, the Gold Completer coin is the 11th and final issue of the popular series. This is a cheaper way of buying a tube of ten Queens Beasts Completer coins.</p>

Like the other 1oz gold coins in the series, the Completer coin possesses a face value of £100, qualifying the coin as legal tender &#8211; meaning any profits made when selling the coins in the future are completely free from Capital Gains Tax. The Royal Mint has produced these coins to bullion finish, deeming them ideal for investment due to their lower production cost.</p>
<h2>History and Design of Queens Beast coins</h2>
<p>The Queens Beast series celebrates the ten heraldic beasts which were present in statue form at Queens Elizabeth&#8217;s 1953 Coronation at Westminster Abbey. The ten beasts represent the queen&#8217;s illustrious line of ancestry with each creature associated with various Royal Houses and monarchs.</p>
<p>The obverse of the coin bears the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the new guilloché design.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>Snap these fantastic coins up while you can. Whether you purchase one coin as part of the full set, buy the various sizes and precious metal versions, or buy higher quantities for investment, make sure you do it while stocks last. Previous issues of the series have sold out quickly with premiums rising significantly as <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/rare-collectible-gold-coins/">gold coin collectors</a> seek difficult to obtain coins. Premiums when first released tend to be low, offering a small window of opportunity to lock in incredible value.</p>
<p>Like the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-britannia-coins/">gold Britannia</a>, the Queens Beast coins are very popular for gold investors due to their tax-free status for UK investors.</p>

<p>Around the design of Britannia is the legend ‘BRITANNIA 2021 999.9 FINE GOLD’</p>
<h2>Why it was launched</h2>
<p>In basic terms, to compete with the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/best-value-gold-krugerrand-1oz/">Krugerrand</a>. The South African coin was the first bullion coin to hold exactly 1oz of gold and after its launch in 1967, it managed to dominate the ever-growing <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-investment-brokers/">gold investment</a> market. With their roots firmly in tradition, the Royal Mint were perhaps slow to recognise and capitalise on the growing demand for bullion coins. Exactly 20 years after the Krugerrand launch, the Mint eventually launched the 1oz Britannia coin as a direct competitor to the more established coin.</p>
<p><strong>Good move</strong></p>
<p>I bet they&#8217;re pleased they did now, as the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-britannia-coins/">Gold Britannia</a> has grown into one of the most popular coins globally, successfully spreading the MInt&#8217;s name worldwide. While the Britannia certainly dominates the UK market, the Krugerrand still holds great recognition and appeal, especially on the continent. The Royal Mint&#8217;s desire to appeal to the global market was demonstrated when the Britannia swapped from a 22 carat coin to fine gold (24 carats) in 2013. The lucrative and expanding Asian precious metals market generally will only <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-gold">buy pure gold</a>.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SbFyfYXpPwE" width="657" height="376" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
We often get asked &#8220;Gold Britannias or <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-sovereign-coins">Gold Sovereigns</a> &#8211; which is the best investment?&#8221;, so learn more in our YouTube video.</p>
<h2>Variety of Britannia coins</h2>
<p>Due to the popularity of the 1oz gold Britannia coin, several other versions have been spawned. The gold version is available in Half, Quarter and tenth ounce sizes, to complement the larger 1oz coin. These can be bought in bullion finish or in <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/coin-sets/">proof sets</a> which command a premium due to finish and presentation. The smaller coins can appeal both to collectors and modest investors who seek smaller, more affordable individual coins.</p>
<p><strong>Special editions</strong></p>
<p>In recent years we&#8217;ve also witnessed beautiful special edition 1oz iterations. Last year witnessed the 30th-anniversary limited edition of the coin which commanded a premium over the mass-produced version. This year, in very limited quantity, the Royal Mint has launched a version with an oriental style border, no doubt to further appeal to the Asian market.</p>
<p><strong>And now in silver</strong></p>
<p>A decade after the Gold Britannia launch came the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/silver-britannia-coins/">1oz Silver Britannia</a>. In a similar fashion to its older gold cousin, the 1oz silver coin has become the go-to coin for those <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-silver">investing in silver</a>. The coin is mass-produced to reduce cost and provide great value for money. As a legal tender coin, it also attracts no Capital Gains Tax.</p>
<h3>Our expert opinion</h3>
<p>The newest version of the Britannia 1oz <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-coins">gold coin</a> is always one of the best sellers at <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com">Physical Gold Limited</a>. Quite simply, it ticks all the boxes. For investors, the 1oz size reduces production costs when compared to smaller coins. It&#8217;s mass-produced at the Mint and finished to bullion standard, lending itself to value investment. For UK investors, the £100 face value can be a huge cost saving when it comes to selling. That&#8217;s because the face value qualifies the coin as legal tender and therefore the Treasury can&#8217;t tax you on any <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/capital-gains-tax-all-you-need-to-know/">Capital Gains</a> made when selling the coins. Quantity discounts run deep too, so you&#8217;re rewarded with reductions as you increase the amount you buy. When selling, the Britannias also pay well.</p>
<p><strong>The best bit..</strong></p>
<p>Of all the 1oz coins, the Britannia tends to have the fewest churners. In other words, most people buy and hold, and look to pass them down the generations. So there is very rarely a glut of pre-owned coins coming onto the market. This provides great support for the second-hand price. With the coins now being 24 carats (since 2013), there is also a strong bid from China, further enhancing demand and growth potential.</p>
<p>The Britannia doesn&#8217;t neglect to tap into the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/rare-collectible-coins/">collector&#8217;s coin</a> market either. The symbol of Britannia is creatively updated every few years so that the various issues remain distinct and appealing. The special edition versions like the oriental edge and 30th-anniversary edition, further attract buyers.</p>

<p>The newest version of the Britannia 1oz <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/1oz-britannia-gold-coin-2019/">gold coin</a> is always one of our best sellers. Quite simply, it ticks all the boxes. For investors, the 1oz size reduces production cost when compared to smaller coins. It&#8217;s mass produced at the Mint and finished to bullion standard, lending itself to a value investment. For UK investors, the £100 face value can be a huge cost saving when it comes to selling. That&#8217;s because the face value qualifies the coin as legal tender and therefore the Treasury can&#8217;t tax you on any <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/capital-gains-tax-all-you-need-to-know/">Capital Gains</a> made when selling the coins. Quantity discounts run deep too, so you&#8217;re rewarded with reductions as you increase the amount you buy. When selling, the Britannias also pay well.</p>
<p><strong>The best bit..</strong></p>
<p>Of all the 1oz coins, the Britannia tends to have the fewest churners. In other words, most people buy and hold, and look to pass them down the generations. So there is very rarely a glut of pre-owned coins coming onto the market. This provides great support for the second-hand price. With the coins now being 24 carats (since 2013), there is also a strong bid from China, further enhancing demand and growth potential.</p>
<p>The Britannia doesn&#8217;t neglect to tap into the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/rare-collectible-coins/">collectors coin</a> market either. The symbol of Britannia is creatively updated every few years so that the various issues remain distinct and appealing. The special edition versions like the oriental edge and 30th-anniversary edition, further attract buyers.</p>

<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>The 2021 Sovereign should provide the foundation of any gold investment portfolio for those seeking to build a physical <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-investment-brokers/">gold investment</a>. The Mint mass produce these coins to bullion standard, which is the lowest cost method to provide the most gold for your money. Proof versions are available but the premiums on those coins make them less attractive for gold investors.</p>
<p>At approximately a quarter of an ounce in weight, they are four times smaller than the 1oz <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/buy-tax-free-gold/britannia-coins/">Britannia coin</a>. The advantage the smaller coins bring is one of flexibility and further divisibility. Whether that will help more easily divide coins amongst children and grandchildren, or simply provide flexibility to liquidate small amount when times require.</p>
<h3>Tax efficient</h3>
<p>While all investment grade gold is VAT exempt in the UK and EU, only certain coins are also free from <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/capital-gains-tax-all-you-need-to-know/">Capital Gains Tax</a>. This coin is one which qualifies for tax free status as it benefits from owning a face value and therefore becoming legal tender in the UK. Any coin which is legal tender cannot be taxed for Capital Gains. This fact alone makes the Sovereign a very popular choice for investors seeking tax efficiency.</p>
<p>Due to the coin&#8217;s value, diminutive size and tax free status, they&#8217;re incredibly popular. Any physical asset which is in demand will always fetch a higher price than obscure or undesirable assets. With a history of 200 years, you can have the comfort that these coins are incredibly liquid and easy to sell, fetching great prices.</p>
<h3>Sovereign variety</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to build a mixed holding of gold coins, the 2021 Sovereign can be combined with older, more <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/other-coins/rare-collectible-coins/">collectible Sovereign coins</a> such as the George V, Edward VII and Victorian Sovereigns. <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/value-victorian-gold-sovereign/">The value of Victorian Sovereigns</a> for example, will be higher than the brand new version as it benefits from historical, scarcity and collectors value. You may find that premiums on the older coins rise faster than brand new coins depending on availability.</p>
<p>Another way of diversifying your gold portfolio would be to combine the 2021 Sovereign coin with larger coins such as the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/other-coins/bullion-coins/5-pound-gold-coin/">Quintuple Sovereign</a> and Britannia, and buying smaller <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/other-coins/buy-gold-sovereign-coins/half-sovereign-coins/">Half Sovereigns</a>. This way, your holding is a great mix of sizes and ages, while still remaining completely tax free.</p>

2021 Gold Britannia & Sovereign 2 coin bundle

<h2>White Lion of Mortimer Queens Beast tube of 10 coins</h2>
<p>This is full sealed allocation of 10 x brand new <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/bullion-coins">1oz gold bullion coins</a>. Produced by the Royal Mint as part of their esteemed <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/queens-beasts-gold-coins/">Queens Beast series</a>, the Gold White Lion Queen&#8217;s Beast is the eighth issue of a ten coin series. This is a cheaper way of buying a tube of ten White Lion of Mortimer Queens Beasts.</p>
<p>Each coin is minted to 999.9 purity gold, containing 1 troy ounce of 24-carat gold. Like the other 1oz gold coins in the series, the White Lion possesses a face value of £100, qualifying the coin as legal tender &#8211; meaning any profits made when selling the coins in the future are completely free from Capital Gains Tax. The Royal Mint has produced these coins to bullion finish, deeming them ideal for investment due to their lower production cost.</p>
<h2>History and Design of Lion of Mortimer</h2>
<p>The Queens Beast series celebrates the ten heraldic beasts which were present in statue form at Queens Elizabeth&#8217;s 1953 Coronation at Westminster Abbey. The beasts represent the queen&#8217;s illustrious line of ancestry with each creature associated with various Royal Houses and monarchs. The <a href="https://www.royalmint.com/">Royal Mint</a> produce these coins in gold, <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/queens-beasts-silver-coins/">silver</a> and platinum versions, with the silver coming in 2oz and 10oz editions, while the gold is produced in quarter ounce as well as these full 1-ounce versions.</p>
<h3>Lion Coin detail</h3>
<p>Not to be confused with the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/lion-queens-beast-gold-coin/">Lion of England</a> emblem, also celebrated in the Queen&#8217;s Beasts coin range, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Queen%27s_Beasts#The_White_Lion_of_Mortimer">Lion of Mortimer</a> features no crown and its tongue and claws are blue rather than red. Originally inherited from his grandmother, heiress of the Mortimers, it was Edward IV (1461-1483) who first used the Lion of Mortimer in the Royal Arms. Representing his House of York, the Lion design holds a blue shield with white rose on a golden sun. The symbol has since been favoured by King George VI, Queen Elizabeth&#8217;s father. The wonderfully detailed main image pops out even more as it sits on a dimpled background, adding depth. Around the edge of the image is the wording &#8216;WHITE LION OF MORTIMER&#8217;, coins weight &#8216;1oz&#8217;, &#8216;FINE GOLD&#8217;, purity &#8216;999.9&#8217; and finally the year of issuance.</p>
<h3>Jody Clark</h3>
<p>The design of both the reverse and obverse of this coin is by renowned artist Jody Clark. While Clark&#8217;s 5th portrait of the Queen is now familiar on the full current range of Royal Mint coins, it is only the Queens Beasts coins which showcase his design on the rear too. In fact, it&#8217;s unusual for the Mint&#8217;s coins to feature both sides by the same artist.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>Snap these fantastic coins up while you can. Whether you purchase one coin as part of the full ten-coin set, buy the various sizes and precious metal versions, or buy higher quantities for investment, make sure you do it while stocks last. Previous issues of the series have sold out quickly with premiums rising significantly as <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/rare-collectible-gold-coins/">gold coin collectors</a> seek difficult to obtain coins. Premiums when first released tend to be low, offering a small window of opportunity to lock in incredible value.</p>
<p>Like the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-britannia-coins/">gold Britannia</a>, the Lion of Mortimer Queens Beast coin is very popular for gold investors due to its tax-free status for UK investors.</p>

<p>The pictures illustrate the type of coin you&#8217;ll receive, not the exact item.</p>
<h3>1. Victoria Young Head Sovereign</h3>
<p>The obverse features the first portrait of Wuenn Victoria, while the reverse displays the classic St.George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci.</p>
<p>The coins will date between 1871-1887.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/queen-victoria-2597.php">Queen Victoria&#8217;s achievements</a> as monarch are known the world over. Before being usurped in 2010 by Elizabeth II, Victoria was the longest-reigning UK monarch and was also the figurehead of the British Empire at the height of its global reach. Known as the Victorian era, the duration of her reign is remembered for huge technological scientific and political advancement, including such accomplishments as building the London underground system.</p>
<p>The Victoria Young Head Sovereign reflects the period at the beginning of her reign, which experienced various ups and downs like The Great Famine (1845), rebuilding relations with France, and self-imposed isolation after the death of her husband in 1861.</p>
<h3>Young head design &amp; mintage</h3>
<p>Unlike the Sovereigns of today, the Sovereign Victoria Young Head was struck in coin alignment, which basically means the reverse is upside down to the head. This changed in later Sovereigns to what&#8217;s known as medal alignment, which refers to the front and back being minted the same way up. This stems from the medals commonly being displayed within a swivel mechanism. The obverse portrait of Victoria represents a youthful look for the Queen with hair tied up in a bun, and also reflects the young, evolving feeling of the era.</p>
<p>While the reverse most commonly features St.George slaying the dragon, most dates were also issued with shield back design, which is rarer and trade higher. Mint marks for these early Victoria coins are limited to London, Sydney and Melbourne, as the imperial spread had only just begun. Later Sovereigns were minted in a wider number of places, reflecting the growing <a href="http://www.britishempire.co.uk/">British Empire</a>. Mintage quantities varied from a low of around 1.5 million in 1887, reaching a peak in 1872 of more than 16 million.</p>
<h3>2. Victoria Veil Head Sovereign</h3>
<p>The obverse features the Victoria Old Head, also known as the veiled head, while the reverse displays the classic St.George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci. This portrait represents the image most of us associate with Queen Victoria. Perhaps because it spans both the turn of the century, the peak of the Victorian age, and her eventual death in 1901.</p>
<p>The coins will date between 1893-1901. The annual mintage of the coin is fairly consistent, averaging around the 10 million mark, although a spike to double this quantity at the turn of the Twentieth century reflects the significance and celebration the new century brought. The coins are available with London, Melbourne and Sydney mintmarks for most of the 9-year run, and some coins produced by the Perth mint are available from the final 3 years of production only.</p>
<h3>3. Victoria Jubilee Head Sovereign</h3>
<p>The obverse features the Victoria Jubilee Head Gold Sovereign, while the reverse displays the classic St.George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci. The redesign was created to celebrate the Queen&#8217;s jubilee year. The truth is that the jubilee portrait was long overdue after 17 years of the Victoria Young Head.</p>
<p>The coins will date between 1887-1893. They were then updated to the final Victoria portrait version, the Old (or veiled) head to reflect the monarch&#8217;s ageing features more accurately.</p>
<p>The picture illustrates the type of coin you&#8217;ll receive, not the exact item</p>
<h4>Jubilee head mintage</h4>
<p>Due to the relatively short run of the jubilee head (7 years) compared to the previous portrait&#8217;s 17 years, its total mintage was far lower and therefore less are in circulation. Despite it being a newer coin than the Young Head, you could argue it&#8217;s slightly rarer due to the lower circulation number. Like its predecessor, coins can contain mintmarks from London, Melbourne or Sydney. The Old Head which came next added Perth to this list, and the &#8216;King Sovereigns&#8217; of George and Edward added other commonwealth countries to its list of mints such as Canada (Edward), and eventually, India and South Africa (<a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/george-v-gold-sovereign/">George V Sovereigns</a>), reflecting the growing British Empire.</p>
<h4>First medal alignment Sovereign</h4>
<p>The Victoria Jubilee Head Sovereign was minted in what&#8217;s called &#8216;medal alignment&#8217; and marked a theme that still continues with today&#8217;s modern <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-sovereign-coins/">Sovereign coins</a>. This simply means that the portrait and tail side are both the same way up. This sounds obvious and unremarkable, but it replaced the previous method which adorned a majority of Victoria Young Head coins which featured &#8216;coin alignment&#8217;. This version minted the reverse at 180 degrees to the obverse, in other words, upside down. The medal alignment is in fact based on the common practice of wearing medals on a vertically pivoting clasp mechanism. In order to see both sides of a medal, military personnel simply swivelled the coin on this vertical axis and the reverse would be viewed as the intended way up.</p>
<h4>Jubilee celebrations</h4>
<p>The Victoria Jubilee Head Sovereign re-design marked <a href="http://www.open.ac.uk/researchprojects/makingbritain/content/queen-victorias-golden-jubilee">Queen Victoria&#8217;s Golden Jubilee</a> (50 years since taking the throne on 20 June 1837). Celebrations included a lavish banquet with a long list of illustrious guests including 50 kings and princes and the British heads of the various growing global colonies. It was followed the next day by Victoria taking to the streets for a procession in an open carriage, known as a landau.</p>
<h3>4. Elizabeth II Decimal Portrait Sovereign</h3>
<p>The obverse features the Queen Elizabeth second portrait, while the reverse displays the classic St.George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci.</p>
<p>The coins will date between 1974-1984.</p>
<p>Since decimalisation in 1971, there have been three-coin portraits of the Queen, and this coin is fondly known as the ‘Second Portrait’ because the obverse of the coin has the second portrait of Her Majesty to feature on a Sovereign. The reverse proudly depicts St George’s epic clash with the dragon. The coin contains 7.98 grams of 22-carat gold.  These ‘second portrait’ coins were issued for nine of the years between 1974 and 1984.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the second portrait was ready to be used in 1968 (and was in fact first used on 10p &amp; 5p coins from that year) but as no sovereigns were minted between 1969 – 73, the first year that this second portrait was utilised on a sovereign was 1974.</p>
<p>This second royal portrait was Arnold Machin’s fine handiwork and was chosen by the Queen herself in 1964. Machin was made a Royal Academician in 1956 and went on to create the obverse and reverse designs of the 1977 Silver Jubilee crown.</p>
<h4>What was decimal</h4>
<p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/23/newsid_2523000/2523895.stm">Decimal Day</a> was 15 February 1971 and marks the entire UK monetary system being updated to replace the old Pounds, Shillings and Pence format. It was designed to modernise our cash system and bring us more in line with Europe, but the new system was met with confusion and reluctance. Unlike single coin or note updates now, the Royal Mint had a massive challenge on its hands. It began with educating the public and businesses as to how the new system would work. They then had to pre-make various denomination of coin in preparation for the launch. The 6 billion new coins required, provided the catalyst for the <a href="http://www.royalmint.com">Royal Mint</a> to move from their modest premises in Tower Hill to more substantial headquarters in Wales.</p>
<h3>5. George V Sovereign</h3>
<p>As the second son of King Edward VIII, George V succeeded his father in 1910. His grandmother was the long-reigning Queen Victoria and he was only third in line to the throne when he was born in 1865. But after his elder brother’s untimely death in 1892, he became next in line for the throne. His reign marked several significant changes. The political backdrop saw the growth of fascism, socialism and communism, with much of this contributing to the First World War (1914-1918) and later the Great Depression. On home soil, Parliament legally recognised the supremacy of the <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/commons/">House of Commons</a> over the unelected Lords.</p>
<h4>Coin design</h4>
<p>The obverse features a portrait of George V facing left, complete with a finely manicured moustache. As with all the modern Sovereigns, the reverse displays the classic St.George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci.</p>
<p>Interestingly for collectors, 2 versions of the coin were produced. The standard design on a majority of the coins (1911-1928), and a second version with a smaller head portrait on later George V Gold Sovereigns. Unlike longer reigning monarchs such as Victoria and <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/sovereign-elizabeth-ii-young-head/">Elizabeth</a>, where different portraits were used to reflect the ageing of the Queen, the smaller George portrait was motivated by technical issues. It’s said that the greater amount of metal displaced when striking the larger head wore the Royal Mint’s dies quicker, proving expensive to replace more often.</p>
<p>The smaller portrait of later coins reduced this stress on the Mint’s dies. The other obvious update to the second coin version is the stronger border and inner circle and a more detailed moustache.</p>
<h4>Mintage</h4>
<p>While King George V reigned from 1910-1936, the coins were only produced between 1911-1932. Annual mintage varied considerably, ranging from over 40 million in the first year to just over 1 million coins in 1932.</p>
<p>As was common with the British Empire, The George Sovereign was produced in various mints and therefore coins are found with mintmarks from as far afield as Ottowa (Canada), Bombay (India), Pretoria (South Africa), 3 cities in Australia and London. Each proudly displays the relevant mintmark, except London, produced coins, which have no mark at all.</p>
<h3>6. Elizabeth II Young Head Sovereign</h3>
<p>The obverse features the Queen Elizabeth first portrait, while the reverse displays the classic St.George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci.</p>
<p>The coins will date between 1957-1968.</p>
<h4>Design &amp; Mintage</h4>
<p>The Elizabeth Young Head coin marks the first Sovereign to feature Queen Elizabeth on the obverse. Also known as the Liz first portrait, it can be referred to as the pre-decimal Elizabeth Sovereign. Interestingly, the coins available are actually the second issue to feature Queen Elizabeth, after a small number of proof coins were issued in 1953 with the same portrait as this second issue. However, none of the initial coins was released so are held privately, possibly by Royalty. If you ever see a 1953 Young Head coin, snap it up!</p>
<p>The portrait is designed by Mary Gillick and features a young Elizabeth wearing a wreath on her head, reflecting the optimism of the era with a new monarch on the throne. The design achieved a refreshing contrast to previous Sovereign portraits with a modern feel and look. The pre-decimal depiction of the Queen was featured both on UK coins and those of the commonwealth.</p>
<h4>History</h4>
<p>Born in 1926, Elizabeth succeeded her father George VI to the throne in 1952 at the tender age of 26. Becoming the Queen of the UK also meant being Queen to Canada, Australia and New Zealand and being head of the commonwealth. Actually, when she was born as third in line to the throne, she wasn&#8217;t expected to become queen due to the young age of those in front of her, especially her uncle Edward, who was expected to marry and have children himself. However, when her grandfather George V died in 1936, her uncle succeeded him to the throne, only to abdicate the same year after his proposed marriage to a divorcee Wallis Simpson caused outrage. Elizabeth&#8217;s father George VI becomes the 3rd monarch of the year. If he&#8217;d later had a son, Elizabeth would have been pushed down the hierarchy. But he didn&#8217;t, and after his death in 1952, young Elizabeth took to the throne against all odds.</p>
<h3>7. Elizabeth II Old Head Sovereign</h3>
<p>The obverse features the <a href="http://www.royalmint.com/discover/royalty/the-royal-portraits">Queen Elizabeth 4th portrait</a>, while the reverse displays the classic St.George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci.</p>
<p>The coins will date between 1998-2015.</p>
<h4>Design</h4>
<p>The 4th head design is the first to portray The Queen as we&#8217;re familiar with her today. It succeeds the short-lived Raphael Maklouf 3rd portrait and is decidedly more jowly and realistic than it&#8217;s predecessors. Like the previous design, the 4th portrait (by Ian Rank-Broadley) is cut off at the neck, as opposed to the full bust featured in the <a href="https://physicalgold.com/shop/tax-free-gold/sovereign-elizabeth-ii-young-head/">Young Head</a> and Decimal versions. However, the designer felt the queen&#8217;s maturity (she was 70 years old by now), should be celebrated in the new portrait rather than hidden and idealised.</p>
<p>Originally the Royal Mint ran a competition to create a portrait just for the front of the 1997 Gold Wedding Crown. However, the standard of entries encouraged them to use the new portrait on all new coins. The 5th portrait by Jody Clark has since followed (from 2015), which doesn&#8217;t represent a big departure from the 4th portrait.</p>
<h4>Which period does this coin represent?</h4>
<p>The 4th portrait represents a period of relative stability in the Royal family. Following the upheaval of Princess Diana&#8217;s death the previous year, the Royals worked to calm unrest and provide solidity. Elizabeth had been on the throne for 46 years by the time the new coin was launched, so an air of establishment and recognition is associated with this period. The coin issuance also spans the turn of the new millennium and the celebrations which followed. Politics and the economy varied during the period, with prosperity building in the early 2000s and the eventual credit crunch from 2007. The Royals have generally grown in popularity during this period with the more modern and down-to-earth approach of Princes William and Harry, and the birth of William&#8217;s children with the popular Kate.</p>
<h3>8. Edward VII Sovereign</h3>
<p>The obverse features Edward VII, while the reverse displays the classic St.George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci.</p>
<p>The coins will date between 1902-1910 and were designed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_William_de_Saulles">George William De Saulles</a>.<span class="text">G</span></p>
<h4>Mintage and History</h4>
<p>As the oldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Edward succeeded his mother as monarch upon her eventual death in 1901. Due to <a href="https://physicalgold.com/shop/tax-free-gold/sovereign-victoria-old-head/">Victoria</a>&#8216;s record-breaking term as Queen, he was kept waiting until the age of 60 to eventually ascend to the throne. In a remarkable parallel to today&#8217;s Prince Charles, Edward held the post of Prince of Wales for longer than any of his ancestors due to his mother&#8217;s longevity. With his European connections and keenness for travelling, he personified the privileged elite.</p>
<p>Due to his long wait, he died only 9 years after taking the throne, and was succeeded by his son George V. This short period at the helm, coupled with his mother&#8217;s hugely significant reign, meant his impact on the British people is far less noteworthy than his predecessor. His main achievements were to foster good relations with European countries and modernise the British army. The Edwardian era is better known for marking a new century and with it, advancements in technology and the growth of socialism.</p>
<p>Annual Sovereign mintages ranged between sixteen and thirty million pieces, with a total issuance throughout the period of around 200 million. With the growth of the British Empire, coins were produced not only in London and Australia but also now in Canada too. Due to the short time on the throne, the coin design was never updated during Edward&#8217;s reign.</p>

Here are &#8220;5 Reasons to buy gold sovereigns&#8221;, in this Physical Gold Ltd YouTube video.</p>
<h2>Which Sovereign heads are there?</h2>
<h3>Victoria</h3>
<p>As an investment company, we focus on Sovereigns issued from the Victorian era (1871) up to the current Elizabeth era. Three heads exist under the long <a href="https://www.royal.uk/victoria-r-1837-1901">Queen Victoria reign</a>. The oldest and most valuable version is the Young Head Victoria, representing the monarch as an exciting fresh-faced new Queen. The second head is known as the Jubilee head, being minted in the middle of her reign between 1887 and 1893. The final Victoria Sovereign variety is known as the Old Head, reflecting the prime of her reign and most memorable achievements.</p>
<h3>Edward VII</h3>
<p>Alternatively, pre-owned Sovereigns could be from the Edwardian era between 1901-1910. Perhaps due to his short reign, the Edward VII Sovereigns are highly sought due to only a decade of minting, in stark contrast to Victoria’s record rule.</p>
<h3>George V</h3>
<p>Following from Edward, the Sovereign featured the portrait of King George V, with mintage between 1911 and 1932, wrapping either side of the Great War.</p>
<h3>Elizabeth II</h3>
<p>Finally, our current Queen Elizabeth II has now usurped the record supremacy of Victoria, which is reflected with 5 different versions of her portrait, including the young head and decimal portrait.</p>
<p>Coins are unlikely to be the current year of issue, but may well be as new as a year or two old. The general rule of thumb is the older the Sovereign, the higher its value. That’s because each Sovereign contains the same intrinsic pure gold content of 7.32g, but then also comprises an additional value based on scarcity, history and desirability. Therefore, not only are these coins cheaper than brand new Sovereigns, but they’re generally worth more too!</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>Most often than not, these coins will be nearly new or dated within the past 10 years. Providing the same value as buying a nearly new car. However, you can get lucky and receive older more valuable coins at the same great price, giving you amazing value and a piece of history.</p>
<p>For those focussing on investing in <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-coins/">tax free gold coins</a> in the UK, the pre-owned Sovereign bundle really does represent an excellent choice. If you’re not looking to put together a collection of the various Sovereign heads and just want as much tax free gold for your money as possible, then this is the right choice. Each coin is not only VAT-exempt but due to its legal tender status, any profits also remain Capital Gains Tax free.</p>
<p>For collectors, it may not provide the power to choose exactly which coins you’ll receive, but it can be an exciting way of adding to your collection with the knowledge that you may indeed receive a far older coin than money should afford, at much lower rates than you could buy that coin individually.</p>
<p>If you do wish to handpick exactly which coins you’ll receive, you can shop for each coin type in our <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/rare-collectible-coins/"> collectable coins</a> section.</p>

Pre-Owned UK Full Sovereign 10 coin bundle (mixed dates)

<h2>Best Value Gold Krugerrand Coin Bundle</h2>
<p>This is a bundle of 3 x 1oz Gold Krugerrand coins, This special offer provides a cheaper way to buy three x 1oz Krugerrand gold coins.</p>
<p>The 1oz Gold Krugerrand is arguably the world&#8217;s most popular <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/bullion-coins/">bullion coin</a>. While <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/britannia-coins/">buying Britannias</a> or Sovereigns may be the most common gold purchase for UK investors, the Krugerrand enjoys the most consistent recognition and demand worldwide. Certainly, it dominates <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/why-invest-in-gold/">gold investment</a> demand in Europe. The Krugerrand already represents great value for the avid gold investor, it&#8217;s a mass-produced bullion coin designed for investment purposes, so premiums are low reflecting its abundance.</p>
<p>The Best Value Krugerrand offers you the chance to buy Krugerrands at even lower rates. Rather than receiving the latest version of the coin, you&#8217;ll receive Krugerrands of mixed years, of our choice, depending on stock levels. This enables us to offer the Krugers at even lower premiums. This coin is a fantastic choice if your main motivation is value and you wish to receive as much gold for your money, without compromising liquidity or divisibility. All our Best Value Krugerrands undergo a strict checking process to ensure all are of very good condition.</p>
<h2>Krugerrand Gold Coin Design</h2>
<p>The Krugerrand is a 22 carat <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-foreign-gold-coins/">foreign gold coin</a> containing exactly 1oz or 31.103g of pure gold. Like to Gold Sovereign, the exact alloy mix can vary from year, changing annual colour slightly. However, the metal combination provides great resistance to bangs and scratches, meaning pre-owned Krugerrands are amongst the best condition second-hand coins in the market.</p>
<p>The obverse, designed by Otto Shultz, features the four-term former South Africa President <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Paul-Kruger">Paul Kruger</a>. Meanwhile, the reverse displays one of South Africa&#8217;s national animals the Springbok antelope, along with the inscription &#8216;Krugerrand&#8217;, the year of mintage and confirmation of the pure gold content.</p>
<p>The design of the coin doesn&#8217;t change from year to year which offers a comforting familiarity and feeling of longevity, while also keeping prices low due to no redesign costs.</p>
<h2>Krugerrand History &amp; Mintage</h2>
<p>2017 represented a milestone for the famous Gold Krugerrand. It marks 50 years since its launch in 1967, reflecting its success in the gold investment market. No other coin has really come close to matching its accomplishment. The idea behind its original launch was to capitalise on South Africa&#8217;s abundant gold mining industry by providing the perfect <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-investment-brokers/">gold investment</a> vehicle. While the British Sovereign had established itself for well over a century, its obscure gold weight (0.2354oz) meant the average person found it difficult to track its value.</p>
<p>The Krugerrand was the first mass-produced bullion coin to contain exactly 1oz of pure gold, and the market loved it. So much so, that it accounted for 90% of the global coin market by 1980. Always ready to capitalise on opportunities, the <a href="http://www.samint.co.za/">South African Mint</a> launched smaller denominations of the coin that year while its demand was at a peak. Variations include half, quarter and tenth-ounce versions. This was despite many Western countries banning the import of old Krugerrands during the 1970s and 80s due to South Africa&#8217;s problems with apartheid.</p>
<h3>Gold Krugerrand popularity</h3>
<p>The unparalleled success of the Krugerrand has spawned many copycat coin launches. It proved to be the inspiration of other eminent gold bullion coins such as the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Australian Nugget, Chinese Gold Panda, American Eagle, and finally, after 20 years of Krugerrand circulation, our very own Gold Britannia coin.</p>
<p>Mintage figures vary hugely from year to year. Early annual production varied between 40,000 and 200,000, while peak years in the mid-1970s saw mintage reach a heady 6 million in 1978. For that reason, the most common period for pre-owned Krugerrands is the mid-1970s. Production pulled back dramatically during the international apartheid sanctions, falling to around 25,000 due to crushed overseas demand. However,  figures have recovered since sanctions have been dropped, albeit not to its peak levels.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>The Beast Value Krugerrand is highly recommended for anyone seeking super low premiums and liquidity. It provides far more flexibility than buying large gold bars but offers similar value. There are few coins with the sheer depth in its second-hand market, so you&#8217;ll always be able to sell Krugerrands easily, quickly and achieve a good price. We would always buy these pre-owned coins over the latest year of issue, as we don&#8217;t see the point in paying extra when the older Krugerrands maintain their integrity so well. While the Krugerrands may not hold huge <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/rare-collectible-coins/">gold collectors</a> appeal, due to their abundance and lack of design change, they are one of the top choices for gold investing.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re buying substantial quantities of coins, or intend to build a holding over a number of years, you may want to consider the UK coins such as the Britannia or the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/best-value-sovereign-gold-coins/">Best Value Sovereign coin</a>. Both have the added advantage of being Capital Gains Tax free for UK investors. Owning these coins also represents great value and liquidity, but selling a large quantity at any time will prove more tax efficient. Obviously, selling your Krugerrands strategically, in tranches, will prevent breaching the annual CGT allowance which currently stands at over £11,00 per person.</p>

<h2>Half Sovereign 10 coin bundle</h2>
<p>You will receive 10 x gold half Sovereign coins with monarch heads ranging from <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/victoria-jubilee-head-sovereign/">Queen Victoria</a> to <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/sovereign-elizabeth-ii-young-head/">Queen Elizabeth</a>. This is a cheaper way of buying ten x Gold Half Sovereigns.</p>
<p>Coins will be allocated to fill your bundle from our choice depending on stock levels. All our pre-owned coins undergo strict quality checks by our team of experts to ensure their condition is excellent. If you&#8217;re seeking as much tax-free gold for your money and don&#8217;t mind which year the coin is, then this is a great choice. Coins will be carefully packed loose, so you may want to consider purchasing the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/coin-capsule-gold-half-sovereign/">Half Sovereign coin capsules</a> to protect them.</p>
<h3>Half Sovereign design</h3>
<p>The obverse of the Pre-owned Half Sovereign coin features one of the monarch portraits, ranging from Queen Elizabeth, George V, Edward VII and Victoria, while the reverse displays the classic <a href="http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/St-George-Patron-Saint-of-England/">St.George</a> and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci.</p>
<p>The picture illustrates the type of coin you&#8217;ll receive, not the exact item.</p>
<h2>Mintage</h2>
<p>The most common pre-owned Sovereign we receive is Elizabeth Half Sovereigns, which are minted from 1980 onwards (except 1981). They were issued as proof coins only in the period from 1980 to 1999, and as bullion coins from 2000 onwards. Always minted exclusively in the Royal Mint, annual figures vary but remain very modest compared to full Sovereigns. Due to the limitation of recent issuance, only, the more recent Elizabeth portraits feature on the coins, namely from the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/elizabeth-ii-decimal-portrait-sovereign/">decimal</a>, 3rd, 4th and 5th portraits.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>Most pre-owned UK coins trade at a higher price than their brand new peers. So you&#8217;d expect the contemporary <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/best-value-half-sovereign/">Half Sovereign</a> to be cheaper than these pre-owned Best Value Half Sovereigns. However, a majority of the time, these Half Sovereigns can be picked up at lower premiums than the latest issue.</p>
<h3>Value</h3>
<p>Despite having a higher degree of history, scarcity and desirability, the pre-owned coins offer better value than the latest edition. For us, that makes these coins a no-brainer, perhaps being limited only to a variable level of availability. It makes sense to buy in this version cheaper when it contains more numismatic value and may fetch more in the medium to long-term.</p>
<h3>Affordable starting point</h3>
<p>As a small <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-coins/">tax-free gold coin</a>, the Best Value Half Sovereign provides a low entry point into the world of gold for those with modest means, divisibility to those owning a gold portfolio, and balance to those owning larger coins like Full Sovereigns, £2 Sovereigns and <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-britannia-coins/">Britannias</a>. Clearly, its diminutive size means it is more expensive per gram than larger coins, so for a truly balanced portfolio, they&#8217;re best teamed with <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-sovereign-coins/">Sovereigns </a>and Britannias to achieve both balance and value. We sometimes sell the proof version of the coin (issued from 1980 onwards) at the same price as the Brilliant Uncirculated version, depending on stock, which offers additional value as these should fetch a premium to the bullion version upon sale.</p>

<p>The obverse of the Pre-owned Half Sovereign coin features one of the monarch portraits, ranging from Queen Elizabeth, George V, Edward VII and Victoria, while the reverse displays the classic <a href="http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/St-George-Patron-Saint-of-England/">St.George</a> and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistucci.</p>
<p>The picture illustrates the type of coin you&#8217;ll receive, not the exact item.</p>
<h2>Mintage</h2>
<p>The most common pre-owned Sovereign we receive is Elizabeth Half Sovereigns, which are minted from 1980 onwards (except 1981). They were issued as proof coins only in the period from 1980 to 1999, and as bullion coins from 2000 onwards. Always minted exclusively in the Royal Mint, annual figures vary but remain very modest compared to full Sovereigns. Due to the limitation of recent issuance, only, the more recent Elizabeth portraits feature on the coins, namely from the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/elizabeth-ii-decimal-portrait-sovereign/">decimal</a>, 3rd, 4th and 5th portraits.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>Most pre-owned UK coins trade at a higher price than their brand new peers. So you&#8217;d expect the contemporary <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/best-value-half-sovereign/">Half Sovereign</a> to be cheaper than these pre-owned Best Value Half Sovereigns. However, a majority of the time, these Half Sovereigns can be picked up at lower premiums than the latest issue.</p>
<h3>Value</h3>
<p>Despite having a higher degree of history, scarcity and desirability, the pre-owned coins offer better value than the latest edition. For us, that makes these coins a no-brainer, perhaps being limited only to a variable level of availability. It makes sense to buy in this version cheaper when it contains a higher numismatic value and may fetch more in the medium to long-term.</p>
<h3>Affordable starting point</h3>
<p>As a small <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-coins/">tax-free gold coin</a>, the Best Value Half Sovereign provides a low entry point into the world of gold for those with modest means, divisibility to those owning a gold portfolio, and balance to those owning larger coins like Full Sovereigns, £2 Sovereigns and <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-britannia-coins/">Britannias</a>. Clearly, its diminutive size means it is more expensive per gram than larger coins, so for a truly balanced portfolio, they&#8217;re best teamed with <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-sovereign-coins/">Sovereigns </a>and Britannias to achieve both balance and value. We sometimes sell the proof version of the coin (issued from 1980 onwards) at the same price as the Brilliant Uncirculated version, depending on stock, which offers additional value as these should fetch a premium to the bullion version upon sale.</p>

<h2>Best Value Gold Krugerrand Coin Bundle</h2>
<p>This is a bundle of 10 x 1oz Gold Krugerrand coins, This special offer provides a cheaper way to buy ten x 1oz Krugerrand gold coins.</p>
<p>The 1oz Gold Krugerrand is arguably the world&#8217;s most popular <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/bullion-coins/">bullion coin</a>. While <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/britannia-coins/">buying Britannias</a> or Sovereigns may be the most common gold purchase for UK investors, the Krugerrand enjoys the most consistent recognition and demand worldwide. Certainly, it dominates <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/why-invest-in-gold/">gold investment</a> demand in Europe. The Krugerrand already represents great value for the avid gold investor, it&#8217;s a mass-produced bullion coin designed for investment purposes, so premiums are low reflecting its abundance.</p>
<h2>Cheapest way to buy Krugerrands</h2>
<p>The Best Value Krugerrand offers you the chance to buy Krugerrands at even lower rates. Rather than receiving the latest version of the coin, you&#8217;ll receive Krugerrands of mixed years, of our choice, depending on stock levels. This enables us to offer the Krugers at even lower premiums. This coin is a fantastic choice if your main motivation is value and you wish to receive as much gold for your money, without compromising liquidity or divisibility. All our Best Value Krugerrands undergo a strict checking process to ensure all are of very good condition.</p>
<h2>Krugerrand Gold Coin Design</h2>
<p>The Krugerrand is a 22 carat <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-foreign-gold-coins/">foreign gold coin</a> containing exactly 1oz or 31.103g of pure gold. Like to Gold Sovereign, the exact alloy mix can vary from year, changing annual colour slightly. However, the metal combination provides great resistance to bangs and scratches, meaning pre-owned Krugerrands are amongst the best condition second-hand coins in the market.</p>
<p>The obverse, designed by Otto Shultz, features the four-term former South Africa President <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Paul-Kruger">Paul Kruger</a>. Meanwhile, the reverse displays one of South Africa&#8217;s national animals the Springbok antelope, along with the inscription &#8216;Krugerrand&#8217;, the year of mintage and confirmation of the pure gold content.</p>
<p>The design of the coin doesn&#8217;t change from year to year which offers a comforting familiarity and feeling of longevity, while also keeping prices low due to no redesign costs.</p>
<h2>Krugerrand History &amp; Mintage</h2>
<p>2017 represented a milestone for the famous Gold Krugerrand. It marks 50 years since its launch in 1967, reflecting its success in the gold investment market. No other coin has really come close to matching its accomplishment. The idea behind its original launch was to capitalise on South Africa&#8217;s abundant gold mining industry by providing the perfect <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-investment-brokers/">gold investment</a> vehicle. While the British Sovereign had established itself for well over a century, its obscure gold weight (0.2354oz) meant the average person found it difficult to track its value.</p>
<p>The Krugerrand was the first mass-produced bullion coin to contain exactly 1oz of pure gold, and the market loved it. So much so, that it accounted for 90% of the global coin market by 1980. Always ready to capitalise on opportunities, the <a href="http://www.samint.co.za/">South African Mint</a> launched smaller denominations of the coin that year while its demand was at a peak. Variations include half, quarter and tenth-ounce versions. This was despite many Western countries banning the import of old Krugerrands during the 1970s and 80s due to South Africa&#8217;s problems with apartheid.</p>
<h2>Krugerrand success</h2>
<p>The unparalleled success of the Krugerrand has spawned many copycat coin launches. It proved to be the inspiration of other eminent gold bullion coins such as the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Australian Nugget, Chinese Gold Panda, American Eagle, and finally, after 20 years of Krugerrand circulation, our very own Gold Britannia coin.</p>
<p>Mintage figures vary hugely from year to year. Early annual production varied between 40,000 and 200,000, while peak years in the mid-1970s saw mintage reach a heady 6 million in 1978. For that reason, the most common period for pre-owned Krugerrands is the mid-1970s. Production pulled back dramatically during the international apartheid sanctions, falling to around 25,000 due to crushed overseas demand. However,  figures have recovered since sanctions have been dropped, albeit not to its peak levels.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>The Beast Value Krugerrand is highly recommended for anyone seeking super low premiums and liquidity. It provides far more flexibility than buying large gold bars but offers similar value. There are few coins with the sheer depth in its second-hand market, so you&#8217;ll always be able to sell Krugerrands easily, quickly and achieve a good price. We would always buy these pre-owned coins over the latest year of issue, as we don&#8217;t see the point in paying extra when the older Krugerrands maintain their integrity so well. While the Krugerrands may not hold huge <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/rare-collectible-coins/">gold collectors</a> appeal, due to their abundance and lack of design change, they are one of the top choices for gold investing.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re buying substantial quantities of coins, or intend to build a holding over a number of years, you may want to consider the UK coins such as the Britannia or the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/best-value-sovereign-gold-coins/">Best Value Sovereign coin</a>. Both have the added advantage of being Capital Gains Tax free for UK investors. Owning these coins also represents great value and liquidity, but selling a large quantity at any time will prove more tax efficient. Obviously, selling your Krugerrands strategically, in tranches, will prevent breaching the annual CGT allowance which currently stands at over £11,00 per person.</p>

<h2>Swiss Gold</h2>
<p>Banking and Switzerland go hand in hand but Switzerland’s history with gold is just as important.</p>
<p>The original deposits in the Swiss banking system, around 1800, were predominantly gold and silver.</p>
<p>Annually, <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/2014/04/world-gold-infographic/">most of the gold that is produced in the world</a> goes through Switzerland.</p>
<p>It refines 70% of the world&#8217;s gold in an average year. Mining companies export their product to Switzerland where it is purified to its maximum levels (.9999 or even .99999)</p>
<p>Of the top 6 refiners on the LBMA Good Delivery list, 4 are based in Switzerland. This list is a quality certification of the LBMA.</p>
<h3>Our expert Opinion</h3>
<p>Switzerland is synonymous with quality, gold and investment. Owning a Swiss <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/buy-tax-free-gold-bullion-new/">gold bullion bar</a> certainly appeals to the ego as well as providing a cost-effective way of hedging with gold.</p>
<p>The superb finish and casing mean that the Metalor 20g bar maintains its integrity and avoids scratches, guaranteeing a great <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-back-guarantee/">buyback price</a>. It’s size and shape provide a simple means of storage as they take up little space. Being of weight, the 20g gold bar provides access to the gold market for those with humble budgets but keen to get started with precious metals.</p>
<p>Alternatives to this bar may be to consider <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/buy-tax-free-gold/tax-free-gold-coins/">tax free gold coins</a> which are similarly small in size (and therefore offer divisibility) but also benefit from being Capital Gains Tax free. For instance, the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/buy-tax-free-gold/gold-sovereign-coins/">Sovereign coin</a> contains 7.32g of gold, while the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/buy-tax-free-gold/britannia-coins/">Britannia</a> comprises 31,103g of pure gold.</p>
<h3>Size permutations</h3>
<p>If tax isn’t a consideration, but you wish to buy gold bars with a larger budget, there are two approached. One is to buy a high quantity of little bars like the 20g Metalor, and the other is to buy a far larger bullion bar like a 1kg bar. There are price reductions for both approaches, so depending on your budget, it’s worth comparing the two.</p>
<p>The advantage with the smaller bars is the flexibility to be able to sell small parts of your holding at any time. After all, we wouldn’t be keen on buying a 1kg bar which has been sawn in half if you only wish to sell part of your holding!</p>

<h3>Our expert opinion</h3>
<p>The 1oz<a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-tax-free-gold-bullion/"> Gold bullion bar</a> is the only one we sell that is not based on the metric system of grams. Traditionally American markets tend to be more comfortable in ounces, while European markets base weights off the metric system. However, in today&#8217;s globalised market, the 1oz bar is as liquid and recognisable anywhere in the world, especially with spot prices quoted in both ounces and grams. The weight of the bar also lends itself to an easy comparison with the popular 1-ounce gold bullion coins, like the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-britannia-coins/">Britannia</a>.</p>
<h3>1oz Gold bars tick a lot of boxes</h3>
<p>This bar is a great way to get started in the world of gold. Its relative affordability compared to some of the larger bars, means it&#8217;s a popular choice for many but is large enough to feel satisfying. It&#8217;s also the first bar size to offer more compelling value than the really small gold wafers. Because of its Swiss heritage and quality manufacturing, the bar will always fetch a high resale value and will appeal to those who want gold to be certified and encased.</p>
<h3>Divisibility</h3>
<p>If gold bars are your focus, then the total amount you wish to invest should be considered when you select bar size. Price reductions are offered both for the number of bars, but also as the weight of the bar increases. For instance, it would be worth comparing the overall cost of buying approximately 32 x 1oz gold bars, versus buying 1 x <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-1kg-gold-bar">1kg bar</a>. You may find that the tiny bit more you may pay for the 32 bars is justifiable for the flexibility it provides if you wish to sell part of your holding, or indeed divide the gold amongst children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re seeking to invest a more significant sum, then variety is usually the key, as is tax efficiency. Buying a number of 1oz Britannias <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-coins">gold coins</a>, for example, will provide excellent value, with the added bonus of your profits being <a href="https://physicalgold.com/insights/2016/09/capital-gains-tax-all-you-need-to-know/">Capital Gains Tax-free</a>. If history also appeals when buying gold, it may be worth opting to purchase <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-sovereign-coins">Sovereign gold coins </a>which are pre-owned and cost more per gram than gold bars but are worth more due to their scarcity and numismatic value.</p>

Each bar contains 31.103g of fine gold and comes in a sealed, tamper-proof credit-card-sized package with a unique serial number and certification, for security and buyer confidence. <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-bars/">Buying gold bars</a> is usually the choice for those investors seeking as much <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-gold">gold</a> for their money as possible and is preferred to buying <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-coins">gold coins</a>.</p>
<p>Please note that on occasion, you may receive an alternative brand of the bar if Metalor is out of stock. Brands will be of equal purity, reputation and presentation. Examples would be Credit Suisse, UBS, Heraeus or Perth Mint</p>
<h3>Our expert opinion</h3>
<p>The 1oz<a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-tax-free-gold-bullion/"> Gold bullion bar</a> is the only one we sell that is not based on the metric system of grams. Traditionally American markets tend to be more comfortable in ounces, while European markets base weights off the metric system. However, in today&#8217;s globalised market, the 1oz bar is as liquid and recognisable anywhere in the world, especially with spot prices quoted in both ounces and grams. The weight of the bar also lends itself to an easy comparison with the popular 1-ounce gold bullion coins, like the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-britannia-coins/">Britannia</a>.</p>
<h3>1oz Gold bars tick a lot of boxes</h3>
<p>This bar is a great way to get started in the world of gold. Its relative affordability compared to some of the larger bars, means it&#8217;s a popular choice for many but is large enough to feel satisfying. It&#8217;s also the first bar size to offer more compelling value than the really small gold wafers. Because of its Swiss heritage and quality manufacturing, the bar will always fetch a high resale value and will appeal to those who want gold to be certified and encased.</p>
<h3>Divisibility</h3>
<p>If gold bars are your focus, then the total amount you wish to invest should be considered when you select bar size. Price reductions are offered both for the number of bars, but also as the weight of the bar increases. For instance, it would be worth comparing the overall cost of buying approximately 32 x 1oz gold bars, versus buying 1 x <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-1kg-gold-bar">1kg bar</a>. You may find that the tiny bit more you may pay for the 32 bars is justifiable for the flexibility it provides if you wish to sell part of your holding, or indeed divide the gold amongst children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re seeking to invest a more significant sum, then variety is usually the key, as is tax efficiency. Buying a number of <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/britannia-coins">1oz Britannias</a>, for example, will provide excellent value, with the added bonus of your profits being <a href="https://physicalgold.com/insights/2016/09/capital-gains-tax-all-you-need-to-know/">Capital Gains Tax-free</a>. If history also appeals when buying gold, it may be worth opting to purchase<a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-sovereign-coins"> Sovereign gold coins</a> which are pre-owned and cost more per gram than gold bars but are worth more due to their scarcity and numismatic value.</p>
<p>We also sell <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/silver-bars">silver bars</a>, such as <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-1-kilo-silver-bar">1KG Metalor silver bars</a>, which can be an interesting alternative to Metalor gold bars.

Metalor 1oz Gold 10 Bar Bundle

<h2>Metalor 100g Gold Bar Bundle</h2>
<p>This is a bundle of 3 x brand gold bars, struck in 999.9 fineness 24 carat gold and is minted by Metalor. This bundle offers you a cheaper way to buy three x <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-100g-gold-bar/">100g Gold Bars</a>.</p>
<p>These brand new 100g gold bars produced by Swiss refiners Metalor and recognised by the <a href="http://www.lbma.org.uk/">LBMA</a>, are highly regarded and liquid globally. Each bar contains 100g of fine gold and comes in a sealed, tamper-proof credit-card sized package with unique serial number and certification, for security and buyer confidence.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>This is our best selling <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-bars/">gold bar</a>. It&#8217;s the largest bar we offer while still being produced in Metalor&#8217;s impressive tamper-proof packaging. Larger bars are offered loose with certificates, like the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-1kg-gold-bar/">1kg gold bar</a>. In our opinion, it offers an ideal compromise between price and size.</p>
<h3>Optimum value and divisibility</h3>
<p>Unless you have a very significant sum to <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/why-invest-in-gold/ ">invest into gold</a>, then buying anything larger than 100g will severely limit your ability to sell small parts of your holding. Just imagine owning a 1kg gold bar but wanting to sell some to realise £15k of cash flow. With the bar worth over £30k, a hacksaw would be needed &#8211; not recommended to maximise the bars value!</p>
<p>Alternatively, buying small gold bars like 20g and 1oz can be a lot more expensive than buying the equivalent in bullion coins, which can have the advantage of further divisibility and tax efficiency. For those reasons, 100g seems to tick most boxes for investors. In fact, it&#8217;s the most common denomination used for our clients&#8217; <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/pension-gold/">Pension Gold</a>.<br />

<p>The 100g <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/buy-tax-free-gold-bullion/">gold bullion bar</a> benefits from qualifying not only for your SIPP pension in the UK but also for our buyback guarantee and <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/delivery-storage/">segregated storage facility</a>. Our storage service is for purchases over £2,500 and suits those who want the ultimate peace of mind and security. Your gold bars will be stored in the UK on an insured, fully allocated and segregated basis. Meaning your gold&#8217;s safe in any circumstance.</p>
<h3>Coins versus bars?</h3>
<p>While <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/2011/08/are-gold-bars-a-good-option-for-cash-investments/">gold bars can be a great value investment</a>, the alternative when your funds stretch to this size investment and larger, is gold coins. Buying a number of UK gold coins also benefits from price reductions when compared to buying single pieces. These represent additional benefits over 100g gold bars, in that they&#8217;re tax efficient when selling as well as buying. Determining which is best, coins or bars will be based on your individual situation. After all, Capital Gains Tax is only payable when making an annual profit of more than £11k. So selling your 100g bars off strategically spread over several years, or if you only own one or two, will mean you&#8217;ll avoid the tax anyway.</p>

Metalor 100g Gold 10 Bar Bundle

<h2>Metalor 50g Gold Bar Bundle</h2>
<p>This is a bundle of 3 x brand gold bars, struck in 999.9 fineness 24 carat gold and is minted by Metalor. This bundle offers you a cheaper way to buy three x <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-50g-gold-bar/">50g Gold Bars</a>.</p>
<p>The brand new Gold Bars, issued by Metalor, once again shows Metalor’s commitment to producing high-quality elegant products.</p>
<p>Metalor is the Geneva-based, <a href="http://www.lbma.org.uk/">LBMA</a> approved refiner of precious metal and one of the world’s oldest in this field.</p>
<p>They have been producing <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-bars/">fine gold bars</a> of the highest quality since 1852.</p>
<p>Each 50g bar contains 50g of fine gold.</p>
<p>The front of each bar has Metalor’s signature along with a serial number and QR code. Meanwhile, the reverse features an ethical stamp.</p>
<p>Each bar comes in a sealed, tamper-proof case and has a certificate of authenticity.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>The 50g Metalor gold bullion bar is one of our best sellers. It combines affordability with Swiss heritage, liquidity and beautiful packaging. The Metalor name brings with it prestige, making ownership assured but also guaranteeing a strong price when it comes to sell.</p>
<p>The modest size of the bar means selling to bar won’t incur any Capital Gains Tax, but owning (and selling) a large quantity of these <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-bullion/">gold bullion bars</a> may well do, depending on the market price. Therefore, if you intend to build a large gold portfolio, it’s worth considering combining the 50g bar with some <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-coins">tax-free gold coins</a>, to ensure tax efficiency upon asset disposal.</p>
<p>In our opinion, buying a number of the 50g gold bars is a better investment option than owning 1 large bar like the 500g or 1kg Metalor bars. You’ll get a quantity saving on the smaller bars compared to buying just one 50g bar. The overall price may be very slightly higher than buying a 1kg bar, but the added flexibility it brings will probably outweigh that marginal saving.</p>

<p>This is a bundle of 3 x brand gold bars, struck in 999.9 fineness 24 carat gold and is minted by Metalor. This bundle offers you a cheaper way to buy three x <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-10g-gold-bar/">10g Gold Bars</a>.</p>
<p>The 10g Gold bar is produced by Swiss refiners <a href="http://www.metalor.com/">Metalor </a>and recognised by the LBMA, and can be traded anywhere globally. Each brand new bar contains 10g of fine gold and comes in a sealed, tamper-proof credit-card sized package with unique serial number and certification, for security and buyer confidence.</p>
<p>Please note that on occasion, you may receive an alternative brand of bar if Metalor are out of stock. Brands will be of equal purity, reputation and presentation. Examples would be Credit Suisse, UBS, Heraeus or Perth Mint</p>
<h3>Our expert opinion</h3>
<p>As a brand, Metalor hits the sweet spot for investors. Swiss manufacturers have an unrivalled reputation in this space for producing quality, high purity <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-bars/">gold bars</a>. That reputation provides the buyer with peace of mind, but also the reassurance that it will fetch a good price when selling.</p>
<p>The sealed packaging with serial number provides further comfort of authenticity and provenance. As one of the most popular <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/buy-tax-free-gold-bullion-new/">gold bullion</a> brands, Metalor bars are mass produced and better value than competitors like <a href="http://www.pamp.com/">Pamp</a>, who charge a premium.</p>
<h3>Accesibility to the gold market</h3>
<p>As a gift for a friend or family, it provides a unique and impressive choice, but also a thoughtful one to encourage children to start building a <a href="https://physicalgold.com/insights/2017/04/gold-nest-egg/">nest egg</a> for their future. The 10g gold bar affords a talking point as recipients are always keen to show it off.</p>
<p>As an investment, its cost-effectiveness will depend on the size of the overall outlay. For any investor with £1,000 or more seeking efficiency, and as much gold for their money, it may be a wiser choice to buy larger gold bars which reduces the price paid per gram. There are also price reductions if buying larger quantities of 10g bars in any one purchase. Therefore it may be wise to accumulate cash to buy as many as possible in one go to achieve discounts.</p>
<p>The disadvantage when buying larger bars like the 1kg gold bar is one of a lack of divisibility. Even if you&#8217;re certain you won&#8217;t need to sell part of your portfolio for several years, owning just 1 large piece of gold doesn&#8217;t afford you to sell a portion of your investment, even if circumstances change. We&#8217;d always recommend striking a balance between overall cost and owning as many pieces of gold as possible.</p>
<p>At 10g in weight, the other main investing alternative would be the Gold Sovereign coin, which is 22 carats and provides 7.32g of gold. We compare <a href="https://physicalgold.com/insights/2011/06/whats-the-best-physical-gold-investment-gold-coins-or-gold-bars/">gold bars versus gold coins here</a>. Generally, while <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/shop/product-category/buy-tax-free-gold/gold-sovereign-coins/">Sovereign coins</a> aren&#8217;t packaged impressively like the Metalor bars, they can be bought at lower premiums and have the advantage of being Capital Gains Tax free.</p>

Metalor 10g Gold 10 Bar Bundle

<h2>Metalor 5g Gold Bar Bundle</h2>
<p>This is a bundle of 3 x brand gold bars, struck in 999.9 fineness 24-carat gold and is minted by Metalor. This bundle offers you a cheaper way to buy three x <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-5g-gold-bar/">5g Gold Bars</a>.</p>
<p>The 5g gold bars are produced by Swiss refiners Metalor and recognised by the <a href="http://www.lbma.org.uk/">LBMA</a>. These gold bars can be traded anywhere globally.</p>
<p>Each bar contains 5g of fine gold and comes in a sealed, tamper-proof credit-card-sized package with unique serial number and certification, for security and buyer confidence.</p>
<p>Please note that on occasion, you may receive an alternative brand of bar if Metalor is out of stock. Brands will be of equal purity, reputation and presentation. Examples would be Credit Suisse, UBS, Heraeus or Perth Mint.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>This is our starter size gold bar and is very popular for those wishing to get started with a gold portfolio. As our lowest priced gold bar, the Metalor 5g <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-bars/">gold bar</a> makes an ideal present for loved ones. The Swiss are world-renowned for their unrivalled gold bar manufacturing, so what better way to impress friends and family with one of their own.</p>
<p>Despite its diminutive size, the item feels impressive and satisfying due to the sealed, certified encapsulation of the gold bar itself. Being protected within the casing, the bar will remain unscratched which will maximise its resale value.</p>
<h2>Bar denominations and value</h2>
<p>Due to its humble size, larger bars provide more gold per gram. So if you&#8217;re considering building a more substantial holding, it may be worth considering larger bars such as the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/metalor-50g-gold-bar/">Metalor 50g gold bar</a> or the very popular investment size of 100g. There are price reductions when purchasing a number of 5g gold bars, so the most cost-effective choice will depend on how many grams you wish to buy in total. Absolute buying cost isn&#8217;t the only consideration, divisibility and tax efficiency are also important. It may be wiser to buy 10x5g bars than 1x50g gold bar if you anticipate needing to sell part, but not all of your gold investment at some point in the future. Owning lots of small bars provides the ultimate in flexibility.</p>
<h3>Coin alternatives</h3>
<p>Our most popular alternative to the 5g gold bar would by the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/best-value-half-sovereign/">Half Sovereign</a> or <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-sovereign-coins/">Sovereign gold coins</a>. Providing gold content of 3.66g and 7.32g respectively, they are in the same price bracket as the 5g bar. Interestingly, while the Half Sovereign commands similar premiums to the 5g gold bar, stretching to the slightly larger Sovereign brings premiums down significantly. The added advantage of the coins is that they&#8217;re <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/insights/capital-gains-tax-all-you-need-to-know/">Capital Gains Tax-free</a>. However, if the presentation is important, especially for a one-off purchase or present, then the Metalor bars are hard to beat.</p>

Metalor 5g Gold 10 Bar Bundle

<h2>Yale of Beaufort Queens Beast tube of 10 coins</h2>
<p>This is full sealed allocation of 10 x brand new <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/bullion-coins">1oz gold bullion coin</a>s. Produced by the Royal Mint as part of their esteemed <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/queens-beasts-gold-coins/">Queens Beast series</a>, the Gold Yale Queen&#8217;s Beast is the seventh issue of a ten coin series. Each coin is minted to 999.9 purity gold, containing 1 troy ounce of 24-carat gold. This is a cheaper way of buying a tube of ten Yale of Beaufort Queens Beasts.</p>
<p>Like the other 1oz gold coins in the series, the Yale Beast possesses a face value of £100, qualifying the coin as legal tender &#8211; meaning any profits made when selling the coins in the future are completely free from Capital Gains Tax. The Royal Mint has produced these coins to bullion finish, deeming them ideal for investment due to their lower production cost.</p>
<h2>History and Design of Yale</h2>
<p>The Queens Beast series celebrates the ten heraldic beasts which were present in statue form at Queens Elizabeth&#8217;s 1953 Coronation at Westminster Abbey. The beasts represent the queen&#8217;s illustrious line of ancestry with each creature associated with various Royal Houses and monarchs. The <a href="https://www.royalmint.com/">Royal Mint</a> produce these coins in gold, <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/queens-beasts-silver-coins/">silver</a> and platinum versions, with the silver coming in 2oz and 10oz editions, while the gold is produced in quarter ounce as well as these full 1-ounce versions. This brand new Queens Beast was strongly associated with The Duke of Bedford&#8217;s arms and the English House of Beaufort.</p>
<p>Like many of the 10 heraldic beasts, the Yale of Beaufort is a mystical beast with a number of slightly varying interpretations of the fable. The generally accepted parameters are that the Yale is a goat-like creature which boasts incredible powerful horns which can pivot in any direction for combat. It also possesses a set of boar-like tusks. The back of this 1oz coin features the legendary <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_(mythical_creature)">Yale of Beaufort</a>, proudly astride a shield with crown and chained portcullis. The wonderfully detailed main image pops out even more as it sits on a dimpled background, adding depth. Around the edge of the image is the wording &#8216;YALE OF BEAUFORT&#8217;, coins weight &#8216;1oz&#8217;, &#8216;FINE GOLD&#8217;, purity &#8216;999.9&#8217; and finally the year of issuance.</p>
<p>The design of both the reverse and obverse of this coin is by renowned artist Jody Clark. While Clark&#8217;s 5th portrait of the Queen is now familiar on the full current range of Royal Mint coins, it is only the Queens Beasts coins which showcase his design on the rear too. In fact, it&#8217;s unusual for the Mint&#8217;s coins to feature both sides by the same artist.</p>
<h3>Our Expert Opinion</h3>
<p>Snap these fantastic coins up while you can. Whether you purchase one coin as part of the full ten-coin set, buy the various sizes and precious metal versions, or buy higher quantities for investment, make sure you do it while stocks last. Previous issues of the series have sold out quickly with premiums rising significantly as <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/rare-collectible-gold-coins/">gold coin collectors</a> seek difficult to obtain coins. Premiums when first released tend to be low, offering a small window of opportunity to lock in incredible value.</p>
<p>Like the <a href="https://www.physicalgold.com/gold-britannia-coins/">gold Britannia</a>, the Yale Queens Beast coin is very popular for gold investors due to its tax-free status for UK investors.</p>
