Today we are building on our 1,100 years of heritage and reputation for trust and security to expand into new ventures with the launch of our first ever listed financial product, becoming the first Sovereign mint in Europe to do so."

"Our precious metals business has gone from strength to strength since its launch five years ago, and the launch of this gold backed ETC further builds on our existing range of Mint precious metal products."

Jatin Patel, head of Wealth Management at the Royal Mint, said: "Gold continues to be recognised as the world's leading means of trading and storing wealth. As one of the UK's most trusted organisations, we are excited to be able to offer investors yet another way of gaining exposure to gold whilst having the confidence that it is safely stored in our vault."
