Quick answers
How much is a Gold Britannia worth?
Its melt value is the pure gold it contains (1 troy ounce) times the live gold spot price, shown at the top of this page. Buying it costs more than melt, and selling it back typically returns 95% to 99% of melt for well-known bullion.
Is a Gold Britannia priced by the ounce?
Yes. The price follows the gold spot price, plus a premium. The premium pays for making, shipping and the dealer's costs.
