The Gold Britannia was the first to appear in the series, launched in multiple weight options that same year. Provident Metals now offers the 2026 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coin for purchase.

Each 2026 1 oz British Gold Britannia Coin is available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins are packaged in protective flips, while multiples of 10 come in mint tubes, and larger quantities of 100 are housed in boxes. The reverse side includes modern security elements such as a textured wave background, tincture lines on the Union Jack emblem, a latent image, and micro-engraved text.
