The PCGS Certified 2024 Britannia KCIII 1oz Gold Coin holds one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold with King Charles III on the obverse, and has been graded and sealed by PCGS. It is UK legal tender with a £100 face value, so it is exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents and VAT-exempt as investment gold.

The PCGS 2024 KCIII 1oz Gold Britannia design

The 2024 Britannia pairs Martin Jennings’ portrait of King Charles III with Philip Nathan’s 1987 Britannia, complete with the Royal Mint’s four security features.

The King’s portrait faces left, following the tradition that each monarch faces the opposite way to their predecessor on British coins.

Security features on the 2024 KCIII Gold Britannia

• Latent image: below Britannia’s gown, a trident switches to a padlock as the coin is tilted.
• Surface animation: the background waves appear to move as the light changes.
• Micro-text: the words DECUS ET TUTAMEN (‘an ornament and a safeguard’) run around the design.
• Tincture lines: fine lines pick out the Union flag on Britannia’s shield.

PCGS grading of the 2024 KCIII 1oz Gold Britannia

A graded 2024 coin fills the second King Charles III date in a certified Britannia run, following the 2023 first year.

PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) is an independent grading company that authenticates coins, grades them on the 70-point Sheldon scale and seals them in a tamper-evident holder. Bullion coins are graded in Mint State (MS), and the label shows the coin’s date, denomination, grade and a unique certification number that can be checked on the PCGS website.

We supply the coin at the grade shown on its holder. Because grades differ from coin to coin and the images are illustrative, please ask before ordering if a specific grade matters to you.

Why buy a PCGS 2024 KCIII 1oz Gold Britannia?

The PCGS 2024 Britannia is a natural next step for collectors who own a certified 2023 King Charles III coin and want to continue the run in graded condition.

It also gives investors a full ounce of CGT-exempt gold with independently confirmed authenticity.

Why buy 1oz gold coins?

The one-ounce coin is the standard unit of the gold market. Because gold is priced per troy ounce, a 1oz coin’s metal value is simple to follow, and the larger size usually carries a lower premium per gram than fractional coins. Compared with a large bar, a holding of 1oz coins can still be sold a coin at a time, so you keep flexibility without paying fractional-coin premiums.
