Gold coins are a popular purchase for individuals with a keen interest in historical artifacts. As gold coins are limited in numbers, they're often priceless pieces in an enthusiast's collection. But that's not all they are good for. Here are some other properties of gold coins:
• They're tax-free: Royal Mint gold coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
• They can be used as an international currency: the fixed nature of gold means that they can be used internationally, even where the native currency has lost its value.
• They're low maintenance: gold bullion coins are easier to sell than jewellery as they don't require the same level of maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
What different types of gold coins are there?
Gold coins come in all different shapes and sizes. As such, some are more valuable than others. Some of the most popular bullion coins include:
• Gold Sovereign coin – a Sovereign gold coin is minted in 22-carat gold and contains 7.32g of fine gold. Depending on the size and design, they can be sold for between £200 and upwards of £1,000.
• Britannia Gold coin – a favourite of UK and international buyers, this gold coin is available in 22-carat gold or 24-carat gold. A Britannia 1oz gold coin has a face value of £100 but can be sold for over £800.
• Krugerrand 1oz gold coin – a 22-carat gold coin with a rich history, the Krugerrand can be sold for prices above £1,000.Is buying gold coins taxable?
You do have to pay Capital Gains Tax on silver and gold bullion coins, but some are exempt like the Britannia 1oz gold coin. Gold coins must have a purity of at least .900 and have been minted after 1800 to meet exemption requirements. They also need to have been legal tender in their country of origin and sold at a price that does not exceed 180 percent of the value of the gold within the coin .
Can you buy gold coins from the bank?
You used to be able to exchange banknotes for the equivalent value in gold at the Bank of England, but this has not been possible since the 1930s. You can, however, purchase gold coins from local collectors or online vendors like us here at H&T. Browse our catalogue today and get in touch if you have any questions about the gold bullion coins we have available.
What's the difference between buying gold coins vs bars?
Although largely similar, gold coins and bars do have their differences. Unlike bars that come in set amounts, gold coins are significantly smaller, meaning they offer more flexibility and control upon sale. As gold coins come in small packages, it's easy to sell parts of a gold coin collection over time. On the flip side, gold bars are better suited to those looking to make larger acquisitions. Bars of gold have the same benefits as gold coins regarding maintenance requirements and retaining their value, but they have lower premiums. This is due to the higher production costs for coins.
How do I know if a gold coin is authentic?
If you're thinking of purchasing a gold coin, you'll want to know if it's authentic. To tell if the coin is real or not, you should look out for the following features:
• Mint marks
• Weight
• Purity
You can also use the 'ping test'. Normally, you can tell if a coin is made from real gold by listening to the noise it makes when struck. Genuine precious metals will make a high-pitched ringing noise. Fake gold will be muted and abrupt.
But the best way to guarantee the authenticity of a gold coin is to buy through a reputable dealer – such as us. With over 5,000 reviews from happy customers, you can rely on us to provide nothing but high-quality, genuine gold coins.What's the difference between bullion coins and numismatic coins?
Bullion coins are typically valued based on their weight and purity, whereas numismatic coins are valued based on their historical importance and rarity. For this reason, bullion coins are usually purchased by investors and numismatic coins are chosen by hobbyists and enthusiasts.
How should I store gold coins?
Once you've chosen your coin, you'll want to keep it safe. The best way to store your gold coin is in a secure safe or safety deposit box. Gold coins must be kept away from heat, moisture, and other damaging elements to preserve their value and condition.
How should I store gold bars?
To ward off erosion, keep your gold bars in a cool, dry setting. We'd also recommend storing your gold bar somewhere secure – like a safe or safety deposit box at a bank. It's a good idea to insure your gold coins too, just in case.
How do I buy gold coins or bars?
If you're ready to purchase a gold coin or bar, doing so with us is easy. Simply browse our collection of gold coins and bars and add them to your cart. Then, once you're ready, check out and we'll handle the rest.
What different gold bar sizes are there?
Gold bars come in a range of different shapes and sizes. In the UK, gold bars generally start at around 1g and can be purchased in any weight up to 1kg. 100oz and 400oz are also available. However, these tend to be reserved for banks, funds, or institutional investors. The most common gold bar sizes include:
• 1 gram
• 2 grams
• 2.5 grams
• 5 grams
• 10 grams
• 20 grams
• 50 grams
• 100 grams
• 250 grams
• 500 grams
• 1 kilogramCan I buy gold bars from the bank?
No, you're unable to buy gold bullion bars from the bank. The Bank of England holds more than 400,000 bars of gold but stopped their sale in the 1930s. Buying gold bullion bars from the internet from well-known distributors such as H&T is the best way to guarantee the quality and authenticity of the gold bars you purchase.
What should I look for when buying gold bars?
The most important thing to look for when you're buying a gold bar is the purity level. Genuine bullion gold bars will always feature the name of the manufacturer, the purity, and the weight. Where possible, you should look for gold bars with a purity rating of at least 99.5%. As a reputable gold bar dealer in the UK, you can rely on us to stock only the best gold bars. Our commitment to stocking only the best quality gold bars means we've got an "Excellent" rating on Trustpilot.
What is meant by the purity level of gold bars?
The purity level of a gold bar is measured in carats or fineness. When referring to gold fineness, this is stating the percentage of gold in a bar vs other components. Although you might be more familiar with carats, fineness is a more precise scale. This makes it the preferred metric for measuring purity. Roughly speaking, a gold bar with a purity rating of 999.9 fineness (or 24 carats) is considered the purest form of gold. This is because it is generally accepted it is impossible to achieve or prove 1,000 fineness, in other words, 100% pure gold.
How much is a 5g gold bar worth in the UK?
A 5g gold bar is on the lower weight side, but you'd be surprised at how much it's still worth. In fact, 5g bars of gold are valued upwards of £280.
How do I know if a gold bar is authentic?
The best way to test whether a gold bar is authentic is by conducting the 'ping' test. Genuine gold will make a high-pitched pinging noise when it comes into contact with another type of metal. If you hear a dull thud, there's a good chance your gold is mixed with other metals. Another way to guarantee that your gold bar is authentic is by shopping with us. When you buy from Est1987, you can be sure that you're getting legitimate, superior-quality gold bars.
How soon can I receive my gold coins or bars?
If you're based within the UK (including the Highlands and Islands), you'll receive your order within 5-7 working days.
All gold coin orders worth over £150 will be sent using a secure courier. Below that, we'll use Royal Mail's 2nd Class delivery.
If, for any reason, your delivery is going to be delayed, we'll notify you as soon as possible. See our delivery and returns policy.
