Best coronation bullion coin/bar

[jason94151]

I'm wondering which bar/coin do you think is the best out of the bullion range that celebrate King Charles coronation.

[Guest]

Might be off topic but I've always thought coins were better.

For bars though, my personal favourite is the Royal Mint one with heraldic beasts:

My argument against bars is that, for UK residents like myself, coins are CGT-exempt while bars are not. And I prefer cast than minted bars in general. Cast bars don't get much design on them (hence I like the Germania bars because of that little logo stamped)

I was surprised by how much I liked the Coronation Cypher coin, just a nice crisp & clean design. Plus you get Charles in his fancy hat.

I wish they will do a laureate head in the future though. The crown on the 2023 coins is too cartoon-like. I personally don't like the combination of heraldic representation and realistic portrait.

since I live in the USA I gotta pay cgt on gold or silver no matter what so I'm just looking to get myself some coronation bullion to hold for years but not sure what to get. I think the 10oz silver royal Celebration bar design look cool but idk if it will tarnish if I leave it inside the vyinal packaging. The britannia and Cypher coins is nice to collect but the amount of milkspot I had from when I bought the 2023 (queen elizabeth) britannia. I don't know if there still the same issue with the Coronation Cypher and britannia.

The 1/4oz Gold cypher is my favourite, I have bought a couple of those, only downside is they are exclusive to Bullion by Post so come at a premium  

In silver I oddly prefer the bar over the coin

Gold doesn't milk so coronation Brit/cypher are quite good. Of the two my personal preference is the Brit though

Wanted to get a few of those but BBP have dramatically increased the price on them now. Doesn’t even shift in price much when gold price goes down. I guess they are still very popular.

I know gold doesn't milk but in a sucker for silver just cuz the design is a little bigger compare to gold.

Oh the Britannia Coin Company I actually visited them yesterday, if only I'd known I would have asked to see one. 😄

Although it's only bullion I think I actually prefer the design of the 2023 coronation cypher, it's cleaner and not so busy. Real shame it's not in proof tbh.

I got the 5oz silver version just because it bigger and im using it as a display. But I really love this design but most of my money went to the sotd coronation sovereign.

At least £8008.13 I’d say. It’s a beautiful coin.

I’d personally buy coronation sovs. 2nd is the cypher coins. That’s about it. I have tge coronation Brit but I don’t think it will do better than other Brit’s.

I'm honestly not sure. I feel like it might depends how popular he going to be around that time. Also that also depends if he still be on the throne or be alive at that time.

I know when queen elizabeth died everyone was trying to buy everything related to queen elizabeth thinking it might be worth something.

I feel like anything related to the Coronation going to be worth alot over time.

My guess is while a few things will do very well (particularly the lower mintages), most will not. Just because there is so much of it.

I like a lot of it anyway just for the collector side and if any of it does well it’s just a nice bonus.

True I honestly don't see the britannia crowned version being too crazy. Also the past or 2 year just been too much stuff that been released that been draining people pockets.

I would really like to get my hands on the Coronation Guinea made by the East India Company as a token.
