Gold Britannia coins are the UK's most popular CGT exempt gold bullion coin. Britannias were introduced by The Royal Mint in 1987. Between 1987 - 2012, the coins were struck in 22 carat gold (0.9167 fineness); from 2013 onwards, the coins have been struck in 24 carat gold (0.9999 fineness).
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a form of levies imposed on the profit garnered from the sale of assets, such as real estate, investments, and collectibles. In the United Kingdom, the present CGT allowance is £3,000 per annum per individual, which implies that one can earn up to £3,000 from the sale of assets prior to being subject to CGT.
For UK residents, bullion coins which are UK legal tender pound sterling coins are exempt from capital gains tax (CGT).
Wanting to “create a more positive look on the Queen”, Jody created many initial drawings of Elizabeth II, using photos taken of the Queen for sculptures. Taking two weeks to create the submitted design, Jody settled for a “warm expression”, revealing a new side to the regal figure. It pays homage to her milestone of becoming the longest reigning monarch in British history by showing Elizabeth II adorning her coronation crown.
The obverse of the coin shows the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fifth coinage portrait to be used on UK coins.
The text reads:
ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 50 POUNDS
The reverse of the coin shows the iconic 'standing Britannia' image by Philip Nathan.
