The 1/3 oz Gold Britannia is an unusual entry in The Royal Mint’s fractional gold range. While 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, and 1/10oz coins are standard, the 1/3oz size occasionally appears in special releases or limited runs.
What makes it unique?
- Contains 1/3 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold
- Shares the same Britannia design as the 1oz flagship
- Less commonly seen in the US market
- Potential collector scarcity due to limited production
For investors, it adds a novel piece to a gold portfolio. For collectors, the rarity of this size — especially when offered in proof or limited editions — may make it worth holding onto long-term.
