Britannia 5g Gold Bar, The Royal Mint

Description

Royal Mint Britannia 5g Gold Bar

The Britannia 5g gold bar gives you a compact, easy way to own physical gold. Each bar holds 5 grams of 999.9 fine gold. Moreover, The Royal Mint, one of the oldest and most trusted mints in the world, produces every bar. Because it is so small, it makes a popular first gold purchase. It also works well as a gift, or as a simple way to grow a collection a little at a time.

The Britannia Design

First and foremost, the front of the bar shows Britannia as Jody Clark drew her. She stands in a Corinthian helmet and holds a trident and a shield bearing the Union flag. For centuries, Britannia has stood for strength and resilience. Today, collectors and investors around the world recognise her image on gold coins and bars.

Built-in Security Features

In addition, the bar carries the same anti-counterfeit technology that The Royal Mint uses on Britannia bullion coins:

• Latent image: the picture changes when you tilt the bar.
• Surface animation: the surface appears to move as light hits it.
• Micro-text: the lettering is so small that counterfeiters cannot easily copy it.

On top of that, the mint seals every bar in secure blister packaging. The pack has a UV watermark, a tamper-evident seal and a unique serial number. Plus, you can scan its QR code to check that the bar is genuine. For this reason, we recommend you keep the bar in its original pack, since this makes it easier to verify and resell later.

Why Buy a 5g Gold Bar?

• Affordable: first of all, it costs far less than a 1 oz or larger bar.
• Flexible: similarly, you can sell small bars one at a time instead of all at once.
• Easy to store: after all, it is about the size of a postage stamp.
• Gift-ready: finally, it makes a lasting present for weddings, births and milestones.
