The Britannia is well known across Europe and trades at premiums close to the Krugerrand and Maple Leaf. Swedish dealers accept it readily.
Pre-2013 Britannias are 22 karat and weigh 34.05 grams while still holding one troy ounce of gold — check the year before comparing offers by total weight.
The coin is VAT exempt as investment gold in the EU, as are all bullion coins of at least 900 fineness minted after 1800.
Premium is the only thing you negotiate
The gold content is fixed, so the price of a Britannia is the gold value plus a premium. Today the gold in the coin is worth 39,572 SEK; a dealer typically asks 3–6 % over spot and pays spot to spot +2 % when buying it back.
VAT and investment gold
Bullion coins minted after 1800, at least 900 fine and traded near their gold value are classed as investment gold and are exempt from VAT throughout the EU, including Sweden.
