The PCGS 2024 Britannia and Liberty 1oz Gold Coin design

The reverse was the first coin design created jointly by the Chief Engravers of the Royal Mint and the United States Mint, Gordon Summers and Joseph Menna, bringing together each nation’s allegorical figure.

King Charles III appears on the obverse in Martin Jennings’ portrait.

A court-card design

The design takes its cue from court cards in a deck of playing cards. Britannia, in her helmet with her trident, and Liberty, with her torch, share the reverse with equal prominence, standing for the fortitude and freedom at the heart of both nations’ identities.

Why buy a PCGS 2024 Britannia and Liberty 1oz Gold Coin?

A graded debut-year coin is the ideal starting point for a certified Britannia and Liberty run.

The holder protects the finely detailed figures while keeping the coin’s UK tax advantages.

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.
