Why buy 1 oz gold coins?
Like any other gold coin, 1oz gold Royal Arms coins are VAT free both in Great Britain and in any country part of the European Union.
One ounce gold coins are popular in the gold bullion market. They are a great way to split your precious metal holdings in smaller fractions. In fact, a large gold bar is not always the best option. Even if you buying gold bars makes you pay less per gram, a large gold bar will restrict the fungibility of your investment.
Buying 1 ounce gold bullion coins makes your investment more divisible and liquid. You can resell a few gold coins when you need cash, instead of selling a whole bar at once. Therefore, it is worth paying a slightly higher premium.
