Gold Britannias were first issued in1987. Four coin Britannia proof sets have been issued every year since 1987.
From 1990, the mintage for the 4 coin sets has been very low.

Gold At All Time High in Sterling
In February 2009 gold reached its highest ever Sterling gold price. In view of this we had to increase the prices of all our gold Britannia Sets, the good news is that we have now reduced them!

Gold Sets Reduced!
As the price of gold has now dropped we have been able to reduce our gold proof sets, some by over £200, obviously this isn't good news if you are selling, but fantastic news if you are buying!

Price Comparison
We have just discovered that some of our competitors are selling some of the sets from the 1990's on eBay at £1,795 - they obviously don't watch the gold price! Buying from us could save you £470 - although you would have to pay £7 for insured postage from us!

All prices are subject to possible gold bullion price fluctuations
The dollar prices of these sets may also need re-calculating due to currency fluctuations.

Notes
Sets from 1990 onwards have a silver content in their alloy, making them a more attractive yellow colour, in our opinion.
1997 Coins feature a special version of the Britannia design, showing her, Boudicea-like, in a chariot.
