The Royal Mint has launched a range of bullion platinum coins and bars last week (May 15) – “the first investment-grade platinum to be retailed by the 1,000 year-old organisation”, according to a press release.
The Royal Mint launched 500g and Kilo platinum bars via bullion trading platform www.royalmintbullion.com. These will be followed “in the next few weeks” by a 100g and 1oz platinum bar, as well as a 1oz ‘Queen’s Beasts Lion of England’ coin.
Chris Howard, The Royal Mint’s Director of Bullion, said: “This is a new and exciting marketplace for us […] The introduction of platinum to our portfolio is the next logical step for The Royal Mint and increases the choice available to our customers, supporting our ambition to be recognised as the home of the ‘complete bullion solution”.
