Frequently Asked Questions
The gold price can be impacted by various factors linked to supply and demand, as well as investor expectations about where the price may be heading in the future. The gold spot price represents the price paid per troy ounce of gold in unallocated form – physical gold usually incurs a premium above the spot price to cover costs associated with manufacturing, transportation and storage.
Our bullion prices are determined by the live gold, silver and platinum spot prices with a premium added. During checkout, the price that you will be quoted is what you would pay at that point in time for the product. This quote will be valid for a short period of time after which point it will refresh.
Bullion products from The Royal Mint incur a margin or ‘premium’ on top of the cost of the metal. This cost covers the design, craftsmanship, production and management of the products that we sell.
The Royal Mint currently stocks a range of gold, silver and platinum coins and bars. These include our flagship Sovereign and Britannia ranges, as well as a variety of other coins in various weights, metals and denominations. As well as coins, we offer bars of gold, silver and platinum in a variety of weights from one gramme to 400 ounces. Our unique DigiGold offering also provides the ability to purchase gold, silver and platinum based on monetary value e.g. £25 instead of by fixed weight e.g. a one ounce coin or bar, providing you with more control and flexibility.
All bullion coins and bars can be stored in The Vault®, with the exception of digital investment products. You can request that any or all of your stored bullion be shipped to you at any time. Once you have taken delivery of your Vault holding, you may choose to sell it back to us using our buy back service. Please note: Digital precious metals cannot be delivered.
