2026 Britannia 1oz Gold Coin

Gold has long been recognised as a store of real value. Unlike paper-based or digital assets, physical gold is tangible and held outside the banking system.

UK legal-tender gold coins are also exempt from Capital Gains Tax, making them a secure and tax-efficient way to preserve wealth over the long term.
