What do we pay for a gold Royal Arms?
Based on the gold rate of this moment, €119.54 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine gold | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 31.104 g | — | €3,718.03 |
| 1/10 oz | 3.11 g | — | €371.80 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure gold it contains.
This coin is 999.9‰ (24 carat) pure, so the fine weight and the total weight are almost the same.
A plain investment coin bearing the British royal arms: no changing design, but a new year every year.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

The arms instead of a figure
Where the Britannia shows a standing woman and the Queen’s Beasts a mythical creature, the Royal Arms carries the shield with the lion and the unicorn. The design stays recognisable from year to year, which keeps things simple for investors.
How we settle it
A Royal Arms is 999.9 gold with no alloy. We weigh it on a calibrated scale, measure it and check the fineness non-destructively. If everything adds up, we settle on the fine weight at the rate of the day.
The small 1/10 oz is handy for selling in parts, but per gram of gold the price is somewhat lower than for the full ounce, because the handling per coin stays the same.
How to sell your gold Royal Arms
From walking in to being paid usually takes less than half an hour.
Do not polish it
With collector coins, cleaning can push the value down considerably. A natural patina belongs to them.
Bring it in
With or without an appointment, at one of our 45 locations. If the coin is in a holder, leave it in there.
We assess two values
The precious metal and what the coin itself does: year, mintage and condition. You get the higher of the two.
Paid out straight away

Questions about selling gold Royal Arms
What is the difference from a gold Britannia?
Only the design. Both come from the Royal Mint and are 999.9 gold. A 1 oz Royal Arms and a 1 oz Britannia contain the same gold and fetch the same with us.
Does the year matter?
No, with this investment coin only the gold counts. A coin from 2019 and a recent one are settled in exactly the same way.
Do you buy the 1/10 oz as well?
Yes. The tenth ounce contains 3.110 grams of fine gold and has its own line in the table. Single coins are welcome too.
When do I get my money?
Straight away. Smaller amounts are paid in cash at the counter, larger amounts reach your account within 24 hours. You see the calculation before you agree.
