2013 Great Britain 1/20-oz Gold Britannia NGC PF69

 Product Description:

One prestigious gold coin.

Five historic firsts!

It’s been almost 50 years since the Beatles arrived in America, but the last few years have seen a new "British Invasion" of sorts. The Royals are everywhere, and millions are captivated by their every move.

Prince William and Kate married in 2011, followed soon after by the spectacular London 2012 Olympic Games. This spring marked the Queen’s 60th Coronation Jubilee. And just this past summer, the third heir to the British throne, Prince George of Cambridge was born.

In the midst of all the excitement surrounding the Royal Family, Queen Elizabeth II gave her approval to release an unbelievable 2013 Gold Britannia Proof coin – one that contains FIVE historic "firsts"!

#1: Purest Gold Britannia Ever

Gold Britannia coins are one of Britain’s most popular gold coins. Traditionally, they have been struck in 22 karat or 91.7% pure gold. But starting with the 2013 issue, the Queen approved an even HIGHER purity – 24 karat or 99.99% pure gold! That makes these proofs the purest Gold Britannia's ever issued and among the purest gold coins issued anywhere in the world!

#2: First Twentieth-Ounce Gold Britannia

Even though it’s been producing coins for more than 1,000 years, Britain’s Royal Mint has never before struck a twentieth-ounce Gold Britannia. The 2013 Gold Britannia Proof is the FIRST EVER! Each contains 1.58 grams of 99.99% pure gold and measures 12 mm in diameter.

#3: First Britannia Gold Pound

As official British legal tender, all Britannia coins bear denominations in British Pounds (£). The 2013 Gold Britannia Proof is the FIRST EVER Gold Britannia to bear the £1 (One Pound) denomination. The first year of a new denomination is often one of the key dates in the entire series, and can be highlysought after in later years.

#4: Most Affordable Gold Britannia

For as little as $339 each, the first-ever Twentieth-Ounce Gold Britannia Proof is the most affordable 2013 Gold Britannia – and one of the most affordable of all British Gold coins today!

#5: One-Year-Only Britannia Design

This 2013 Twentieth-Ounce Gold Britannia Proof features a stunning new one-year-only design by acclaimed British sculptor, Robert Hunt. Britannia is portrayed in a traditional pose, but with a clean, modern approach – complete with her traditional plumed Corinthian helmet, Neptune’s trident (symbolic of Britain’s seafaring history) and the ancient Greek Athenian owl of wisdom.

As one of The Royal Mint’s largest official distributors, we secured our allocation of these historic 2013 Gold Britannia Proofs as quickly as possible. The coins were then submitted to Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), one of the top third-party coin grading services in the world.

Each coin was rigorously inspected by a team of two highly-trained grading experts, using the established 70-point coin grading scale. Only those select coins which were judged to be of nearly perfect Proof 69 (PF69) grade were reserved for this exclusive offer.
