Craftsmanship in Every Coin
A 1 oz gold coin combines a full troy ounce of fine gold with the design and craftsmanship of its issuing mint. Different issues offer their own portraits, national symbols and finishes, giving you scope to select a coin for its appearance as well as its bullion content.
Purity can differ between issues, but a 1 oz gold bullion coin still contains the same quantity of fine gold. Browse our available designs to add variety to your existing collection, continue buying a preferred issue or select a gold coin to mark a special occasion.
Invest in 1 Ounce Gold Coins
For investors looking to include physical gold in a wider portfolio, 1 ounce gold coins offer a standard bullion format with a clearly defined gold content. Each coin contains one troy ounce of fine gold, making it straightforward to compare purchase prices across different issues.
Buying individual coins allows you to build your holding over time and sell selected pieces when needed. Your purchase price includes a premium above the underlying gold value, so compare available options with your budget and intended holding period in mind. Gold prices can fall as well as rise, and returns are not guaranteed.

1 oz Gold Coin FAQs
How much gold does a 1 oz gold coin contain?
A 1 oz gold bullion coin contains one troy ounce of fine gold, approximately 31.1035 grams. This is its gold content, rather than necessarily its total weight. Coins made with additional alloying metals can weigh more overall while still containing a full troy ounce of gold.
Are 1 oz gold coins exempt from Capital Gains Tax?
The weight alone does not determine the UK Capital Gains Tax treatment. Certain sterling legal-tender coins, including gold Britannias, are exempt. Non-sterling one-ounce gold coins do not qualify for that sterling-currency exemption. Check the specific coin’s status when tax treatment is a factor in your purchasing decision.
Will I pay VAT on a 1 ounce gold coin?
Coins that meet the UK definition of qualifying investment gold are exempt from VAT. The exemption depends on the qualifying coin criteria, rather than simply its one ounce weight. Refer to the product information when ordering and contact our team if you need clarification about the VAT treatment of a particular listing.
Can Baird & Co. store my 1 oz gold coins?
Yes. Baird account holders can arrange for gold coins to be stored in our secure vaults, with holdings individually segregated and fully insured. Storage charges apply. Speak with our team about setting up storage for your purchase and the arrangements for accessing or selling your stored bullion.
