The Gold Britannia is the United Kingdom’s flagship gold bullion coin, issued annually by the Royal Mint and recognized across international precious metals markets. The 2024 1/10 oz edition delivers .9999 fine gold at a fractional price point that makes it accessible for new gold buyers and collectors building a complete Britannia year set. The obverse carries the first effigy of King Charles III to appear on the Gold Britannia, giving this and nearby years added numismatic significance beyond their gold content.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 1/10 troy oz of .9999 fine gold
- Metal: Gold
- Face Value: £10 — United Kingdom legal tender
- Obverse (reverse side of coin): Standing figure of Britannia, trident raised, Union Jack shield at her side, waves at her feet; “BRITANNIA 2024,” “1/10 oz,” and “.9999 FINE GOLD” around the border; “NATHAN” engraver’s signature at the base
- Reverse (obverse side of coin): Bare-headed right-facing portrait of King Charles III; “CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS” around the border
The Britannia face presents the allegorical figure in full stride, trident angled upward in her right hand and a Union Jack shield braced at her left side. Robes fall in layered folds around her feet, where waves suggest the coastal sovereignty she has represented on British coinage for centuries. A fine engine-turned chevron background fills the field behind her — the Royal Mint’s anti-counterfeiting security feature integrated into the Britannia design. The border carries “BRITANNIA · 2024,” “1/10 oz,” and “.9999 FINE GOLD,” and the engraver’s name “NATHAN” is struck at the base of the design.
The obverse carries the bare-headed effigy of King Charles III in right-facing profile, with hair and collar rendered in sharp relief against a finely textured guilloche background. The Latin inscription “CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS” runs the full circumference, confirming his titles and the coin’s £10 face value.
Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, the coin features the even fields and sharp strike relief consistent with Royal Mint gold production. The reeded edge is standard across the Britannia range. The compact 1/10 oz format stores efficiently alongside other fractional gold holdings.
.9999 fine gold, a £10 face value backed by the British government, and the historically notable Charles III portrait make this a coin that earns its place in both a gold portfolio and a Royal Mint collection. Add the 2024 1/10 oz Gold Britannia to your cart today.

I have bought at least 10 of the 1/10 oz. Britannia’s from Hero . They are beautiful coins with very sophisticated security features minted into the coins themselves . They are always in BU condition and well worth the money I paid for them . Hero’s shipping is fast and efficient also . I highly recommend Hero Bullion . They are the only coin and bullion dealer I have used for about 5 years now .

The Royal British Mint hits it out of the park with their gorgeous .9999 fine gold Britannias of all denominations. I am also extremely partial to the silver Britannias as well. Also, Hero Bullion had my order packaged within two days of the order being placed, and the package was in my hand, at my doorstep within 3 additional days!) Btw this was purchasing with an eCheck! Hero Bullion is the fastest to process and ship orders of all online bullions dealers that I have dealt with. They run a tight ship and on top of processing and shipping! They also have some really great deals on many items. I will continue to be a repeat customer of Hero 🙂
