In addition to the Sovereign, the Britannia is the flagship bullion coin of the Royal Mint. It is known the world over and has enhanced security features for buyer peace of mind. The Platinum Britannia coin is a special investment to any precious metal collector. Rarer than Gold, Platinum is a highly regarded precious metal and the Platinum Britannia coin is a perfect low premium method of owning your own piece of investment grade Platinum
Platinum Britannia coins are 999.5 fine Platinum which is standard in the industry. This indicates that if the coin was divided into a thousand equal pieces, 9995 would be pure Platinum making the purity 99.95%. Platinum is not sold as .9999 fine because when Platinum is mined traces of all five of the other platinum group metals are almost always present in the purest platinum. These can be separated by repeated chemical purification but this technology has its limits, resulting in the purest Platinum bullion in the world being a minimum 999.5
Platinum Britannia coins are manufactured by the Royal Mint and are available in 1oz and 1/10oz to a bullion finish
Collector 1/4oz Proof Britannia coins are also available and are popular with specialist collectors willing to pay a higher premium than the bullion versions
