Due to its scarcity, unique Welsh heritage and Royal history, Welsh gold fetches a significant premium over the normal spot price of gold.  As such, and while it is difficult to gauge the likely sale price of such unique collectibles, each coin can be expected to fetch a price in excess of £10,000.

Gold was first discovered at Clogau in 1854. The greatest period of production at the Mine was in the late 19th and early 20th century. 

The Mine has been inactive since the 1990s and, as such, this first, limited production of such high quality coins is expected to attract significant interest from both UK and overseas collectors and investors.  

Aside from its unique Welsh heritage, Clogau gold also has a special connection to the British Royal Family, with Welsh gold having been used to make the wedding bands for Royal weddings for the last 100 years or so, including the wedding of Princess Diana and the then Prince of Wales, the wedding of Catherine, Princess of Wales, and William, Prince of Wales, and the marriage of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Clogau-St David's 1oz pure Welsh gold coins

Three limited edition pure gold coins minted in late 2024 by Betts Refiners (est. 1760) and produced exclusively from gold mined from the historic Clogau-St David's Gold Mine in the Snowdonia National Park in Wales. 

Each coin contains 1oz of pure Welsh gold. The front of the coin features a striking Welsh dragon sitting astride Cadair Idris, one of the most famous mountains in Snowdonia. The back of the coin is inspired by an photograph of miners standing outside the Tyn y Cornel adit entrance at Clogau, which was taken during the heyday of gold production at the Clogau Mine, still by far the UK's greatest ever producer of gold.
