Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues bullion coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The one-tenth ounce (1/10 oz) gold coins are denominated as Ten Pounds (£10) and have been issued since 1987. These 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 other denominations with the same reverse designs. The 1995 gold tenth-ounce (1/10oz) coin was issued by the Royal Mint with the "definitive" standing Britannia type. The composition of the coin is 91.77% gold alloyed with silver. The tenth-ounce (1/10oz) gold coin was issued as "bullion" (in Brilliant Uncirculated grade) and in Proof FDC grade - in mint sets and individually. | ||||||||||||
