Gold Britannias were first issued in1987. Four coin Britannia proof sets have been issued every year since 1987.
From 1990, the mintage for the 4 coin sets has been very low.
For the patient collector, many of the older sets which we offer represent a very good deal as they are at considerable savings compared with the original issue prices.
Buy 3, Get 2 Free
At one time, on the 5 dates we currently had in stock, the total saving would have been £1720 on a purchase of all five sets! This is an approximation of the supermarket type offer of "buy 3, get 2 free". The total issue cost of all five sets was £5270, our total was only £3530. The actual figures will be slightly different now, but you can usually make a considerable saving buying them from us.
We have the following 4 coin sets available for sale:-

Gold At All Time High in Sterling
In March 2008 gold reached its highest ever Sterling gold price. In view of this we have had to increase the prices of all our gold Britannia Sets, obviously this isn't good news if you are buying, but fantastic news if you are selling. If gold goes any higher than £460 per ounce please telephone us as these prices will be incorrect once again.

Notes
Sets from 1990 onwards have a silver content in their alloy, making them a more attractive yellow colour, in our opinion.
1997 Coins feature a special version of the Britannia design, showing her, Boudicea-like, in a chariot.
