The PCGS 2025 Britannia and Liberty 1oz Gold Coin design

The second year of the Britannia and Liberty design keeps the collaboration between the Royal Mint’s Gordon Summers and the United States Mint’s Joseph Menna at its heart, with each nation’s figure given equal weight.

The obverse carries Martin Jennings’ portrait of King Charles III.

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.

PCGS grading of the 2025 Britannia and Liberty 1oz Gold Coin

A graded 2025 coin continues a certified Britannia and Liberty set after the 2024 first year.

PCGS, the Professional Coin Grading Service, is a widely used independent coin-grading service. It verifies that a coin is genuine, assigns a grade on the 70-point Sheldon scale and encapsulates it in a sealed holder. Bullion coins are graded Mint State, abbreviated MS, with 70 the highest possible mark.

The grade of the coin supplied is the one stated on its PCGS label. Images are for illustration and grades may vary, so please contact our team if you would like a specific grade.

Why buy a PCGS 2025 Britannia and Liberty 1oz Gold Coin?

The PCGS 2025 coin is the second link in a graded Britannia and Liberty run, sitting between the 2024 debut and the 2026 third release.

It offers investors 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.

Frequently asked questions

Should I keep the coin in its PCGS holder?

Yes. Removing it breaks the tamper-evident seal and the coin would no longer be certified.

Is a certified coin a better investment than an uncertified one?

Not necessarily. Certification suits collectors; if you only want gold content, the uncertified coin usually carries a lower premium.
