The Aurum Guide to Graded & Collectable Gold Coins
British gold coins. Certified rarity. Physical ownership.
AURUM BULLION PLC
A different standard in gold coin ownership.
Aurum specialises in selected physical gold coins where precious-metal content meets numismatic significance. Our approach centres on quality, provenance, scarcity, presentation and clear client service.
GRADING & CERTIFICATION
Condition matters.
Independent grading services assess gold coins using established numerical scales and encapsulate qualifying coins in tamper-evident holders. Grades such as PF69, PF70 and PR70 identify exceptionally high states of preservation for proof issues.
Always confirm the grading service, certification number and exact grade for the individual gold coin offered.
BRITISH ICONS
Britannia and modern British gold coins.
Britannia is one of the best-known motifs in modern British precious-metal coinage. Certification can add an independently assessed record of authenticity and condition to an already recognisable British issue.
ROYAL HERITAGE
Commemorative gold coins.
Royal anniversaries, coronations and heraldic series provide a rich source of modern British gold coin design. Mintage, denomination, weight, finish, certification and condition should all be considered when comparing issues.
BEFORE YOU BUY
Five questions to ask.
1. What exactly is the gold coin?
2. How scarce is the issue?
3. Is it independently graded?
4. What packaging and certification are included?
5. What price am I paying relative to metal content, condition, scarcity and comparable collector-market evidence?
UK TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Understand the distinction.
Some UK legal-tender gold coins can receive specific UK tax treatment, but consequences depend on the exact coin and the holder's circumstances. VAT treatment also differs between qualifying investment gold coins and other products.
Do not assume every gold coin or collectable coin has the same tax treatment. Obtain current professional tax advice before relying on an exemption.

Precious-metal and numismatic values can rise or fall. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change. Seek professional advice where appropriate.
