Gold Ounce 2025 City Views - Athens, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues bullion coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The one ounce (1 oz) gold coins are denominated as One Hundred Pounds (£100).

The coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation. They are targeted at bullion investors or collectors who appreciate the special editions as pieces of art. The coins are typically "one-year" types usually issued in parallel with smaller denominations with the same reverse designs.

This design is the fourth and final release in the City Views series and features Athens, the capital of Greece.

The mint says about it:
This edition of the coin offers collectors a rare chance to own a beautifully crafted piece of Athens' architectural legacy. Available in limited numbers, the coin showcases a detailed engraving of Athens' iconic landmarks.

Struck in 999.9 fine gold, the reverse of the coin highlights the cultural and artistic exchange between Greece and the United Kingdom, particularly their shared neoclassical heritage. As the final release in our City Views collection, this coin is a fitting tribute to Athens and an exquisite addition to any collection.
