Understanding the Platinum Britannia
The Platinum Britannia is The Royal Mint’s platinum bullion coin, struck in 999.5 fine platinum. It brings the security features and classic design of the celebrated Britannia range to platinum — an affordable, secure way to diversify into a metal whose annual mine supply is far smaller than gold’s.
Key features of the Platinum Britannia:
- 999.5 fine platinum
- UK legal tender, backed by the UK government
- Advanced Royal Mint security features
- Available in 1 oz and 1/10 oz sizes
- Globally recognised and highly liquid
The reverse features the standing figure of Britannia with trident and shield, while the obverse carries the effigy of the reigning monarch — the same iconic imagery that has made the Britannia range so widely collected.
About The Royal Mint
Over 1,100 years old, The Royal Mint is the United Kingdom’s official mint and one of the most respected in the world. Its Platinum Britannia benefits from the same advanced anti-counterfeit technology as the gold and silver versions, making it one of the most secure platinum coins available.

Platinum Britannias are struck in 999.5 fine platinum with the Royal Mint’s precise detail and security features. As UK legal tender, each coin carries a face value and the backing of the UK government, combining the scarcity of platinum with the trust of the Britannia name.
