Gold Standard Security

The Royal Mint continues to innovate and develop cutting-edge security with its new, unfakeable gold bullion bar. The new bullion bar depicts Britannia facing left, wearing a helmet and holding a trident and shield. This unique product includes three new security elements. First, it features latent imagery on the trident, which appears as a padlock when viewed from different angles. Additionally, the design behind Britannia creates the illusion of waves when the bar is rotated. Lastly, the bar includes micro-text, with the inscription DECUS ET TUTAMEN (“an ornament and a safeguard”), created using special lasers. The packaging for the bars is tamper-proof and includes a UV watermark, QR code authentication, and a unique serial number. The bars are available in 1g to 100g versions and are available for purchase on the Royal Mint’s website.

“Our Britannia bullion range is already one of the most sought after in the world, and by extending these innovative security features to our bars, we’re giving investors even greater confidence when purchasing our products,” says Andrew Dickey, the director of precious metals for the Royal Mint. “These new enhancements ensure authenticity and offer greater protection for investors, setting a new benchmark for excellence in the precious metals industry.”
