The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom, which makes the country's circulating coinage, is also very active in the bullion coinage space and issues many bullion coins which are legal tender. Additionally, it also makes bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors - such as this one. The Royal Mint says about this product: Containing 5g of 999.9 fine gold, this bar is designed to personify the link between The Royal Mint and Britannia. Presented in unique and secure, Britannia-branded blister packaging, investors can add it to their portfolio as a financial safeguard for loved ones and dependants." The type of packaging described above is referred to as "in assay" by bullion dealers. There are several varieties, with some intended for gift packaging dedicated to a special occasion. The bar is "minted" (struck using minting techniques similar to a coin, and not cast in the way that larger investment products are). | ||||||||||||
