• Allocated ownership — gold recorded in your name
• Insured professional storage — held in secure vault facilities
• Reduced security risk — no private storage required
• Efficient resale — simplified selling process
• Transparent records — clear allocation documentation
• Flexible access — store, sell, or request delivery
Vault-Eligible Gold Coins
UK legal-tender gold coins approved for professional vault custody.
These include recognised coins such as the Britannia and Sovereign, selected for liquidity, authenticity, and long-term ownership.
Because they are UK legal-tender coins, gains on disposal are currently exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for UK residents.*
Designed for secure storage, efficient resale, and transparent ownership.
Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances.
