The PCGS Certified 2025 Britannia KCIII 1oz Gold Coin contains one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold with King Charles III on the obverse, 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 2025 KCIII 1oz Gold Britannia design

The 2025 coin pairs Philip Nathan’s 1987 Britannia with Martin Jennings’ portrait of King Charles III, and carries the four security features the Royal Mint added in 2021.

Checking the security features

• Latent image: below Britannia’s gown, a trident switches to a padlock as the holder is tilted.
• Surface animation: the waves behind Britannia appear to move in the light.
• Micro-text: DECUS ET TUTAMEN runs around the design just inside the rim.
• Tincture lines: fine shading picks out the Union flag on the shield.

PCGS grading of the 2025 KCIII 1oz Gold Britannia

Pure 24-carat gold marks easily, so a graded and sealed example keeps the coin’s condition on record and protects it from handling.

Grading by PCGS means the coin has been examined by an independent third party, confirmed as genuine, given a grade from 1 to 70 on the Sheldon scale and sealed in a tamper-evident holder. The printed label records the issue and the grade, and its certification number can be looked up on the PCGS website at any time.

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 2025 KCIII 1oz Gold Britannia?

A graded 2025 coin fills the date in a certified run of King Charles III Britannias, from the first 2023 coin onwards.

It keeps the full tax advantages of a gold Britannia, so its value rests on both the gold and the grade.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take the coin out of the PCGS holder?

You can, but breaking the seal ends the certification, so the coin would no longer carry its PCGS grade.

Is a graded Britannia still CGT-exempt?

Yes. Grading does not change its status as UK legal tender, so it remains exempt from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents and VAT-exempt.
