2021 high-tech Britannia Gold coin

[Abyss]

The new 24-carat one troy ounce of gold coin has been produced with 'micro-detail' so the waves in the background appear to roll as you look at them from different angles.

The illusion of moving waves is a security measure introduced to make it difficult for forgers to copy. There are others, including a disk by the bottom of the regal figure's dress that also acts like a hologram so you can see either a padlock or trident on it, again depending on what angle you look at it from.

Many dealers website have the coin as placeholder awaiting stock assume sign not long till the coin available buy. Estimate early November but that just a guess.

I think RM will use all these security features going forward on all Britannia's so doubt there is much if any upside in possible value to the person looking to lock in a bit profit with this coin

Lovely design, i will get one at some stage - sure its great in hand

I think it would have looked better if the security circle had been placed higher up, in the space to the left of the trident.

These look awesome, anyone know where there's any 1/10 available in UK, most sites seem to be sold out already?

Is there a limited mintage on these or is it just a case of waiting for more stock?

Thanks in advance for any info

These are the bullion product for 2021 so mintage will be unlimited so I think you'll just need to wait a bit whilst the initial rush to get hold of them clears and you'll be able to source one :)!

if you're desperate, they are in stock at the mint..! https://www.royalmint.com/invest/bullion/bullion-coins/gold-coins/britannia-2021-tenth-oz-gold-coin/

Necro-bumping, but if a forger takes two valid one ounce gold coins, machines out one face on one, the other face on the other, inserts tungsten in the middle of the two and joins the two halves, then they end up with one ounce of gold along with a single one ounce coin that has the right size, weight and looks (being actual valid coin faces, including the security measures) but is only half a ounce of actual gold

I currently visiting India and have sold two 1 oz Gold 1974 and 1984 Krugerrands and bought four bangles for my mums 70th birthday present. When I bought the Krugerrands on the forum performed all the necessary checks (weight/calipher and ping test via app) all came back positive. I had never before purchased 22 carat 1 oz Gold coin before then but was almost certain these were genuine and recently reconfirmed when sold to reputable gold shop in India (received 5% above spot).

If I have this much confidence purchasing gold coins minted decades ago as long as you have handled and tested gold before buying the latest security enhanced 1 oz Gold Britannias is child play. In the past performed gravity tests and ascertained Gold content of a coin was 18 carat as opposed to 22 carat. Any attempt at faking a Royal Mint issued legal tender coin carries  harsh penalties similar laws for those coins minted by US/Australian/Canadian mints.

I have a Morgan Dollar that I purchased as a novelty.  It is a genuine coin but had been cored and mated to another coin as per the above post.  It was designed for magicians and you have to look closely to ascertain it has been machined.  Trust no one!
