Merit Gold & Silver Announces Exclusive Rights to Rare, Uncirculated 2013 Britannia Coin
Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- For more than a millennium, the British Royal Mint has produced some of the finest and most coveted gold coins in the world. The latest release in the mint’s distinguished line of coins is their very first .9999 pure gold, legal tender, ¼ ounce Brilliant Uncirculated coin, the 2013 ¼ Ounce Gold Britannia. California based premier gold dealer, Merit Gold & Silver, has the exclusive rights to sell the limited edition coins struck by the government mint.
"We are thrilled to offer our second exclusive coin direct from The Royal Mint," said Peter Epstein, President of Merit Gold & Silver. "Our first release, the 2013 Lunar Series Silver Britannia, was extremely popular with our clients. We expect similar strong demand for the new ¼ ounce gold Britannia, as many investors will want to own this beautiful fractional coin composed of .9999 pure gold."
The 2013 Brilliant Uncirculated ¼ Ounce Gold Britannia features the same iconic design used for the larger one-ounce gold and silver coins. It bears the bust of Queen Elizabeth on its obverse. Its reverse is adorned with sculptor Philip Nathan’s image of a standing Britannia, trident and shield in hand, with her hair and gown flowing behind her in the ocean breeze. Her helmet pays homage to her Roman origins, and the olive branch clenched in her hand symbolizes her quest for peace. In her elegance and strength, she is the symbol and personification of Great Britain.
Packaged in new sealed sheets with 20 coins per sheet, each coin weighs 1/4 Troy Ounce (7.7758g). Clients can choose between receiving the physical coins or including them in an IRA investment. The coins have been produced to meet the high standards associated with the British Royal Mint, allowing the pieces to be pre-approved for IRA investments. The authenticity of the 2013 Brilliant Uncirculated ¼ Ounce Gold Britannia is guaranteed both by Merit Gold & Silver and by the British government.
