Gold Bullions
The golden standard.
A timeless asset, built for the future.
Gold has long been recognised as one of the world’s most enduring stores of wealth. Valued across civilisations and throughout history, it has come to symbolise stability, security, and lasting value.
At Golden Dram, we provide access to premium gold bullion, including Gold Krugerrands, British Britannias, and gold bars. Clients can choose secure delivery in the UK or South Africa, or opt for offshore vaulted storage in USD, helping to preserve wealth while reducing exposure to currency fluctuations.
These tangible assets are designed for those who take a long-term view, protecting and growing their wealth with confidence and purpose
The History
Gold’s story stretches back over 5,000 years. From the riverbeds of Mesopotamia to the tombs of ancient Egypt, it was valued not just for its beauty, but for its permanence. Egyptians saw it as the “flesh of the gods,” while Greeks and Romans minted it into currency that fuelled early trade and empire.
By 600 BC, gold coins were being used as currency by the Lydians, establishing gold’s role as both medium of exchange and symbol of prestige. Fast forward to the 19th century, and gold became the backbone of economic systems through the Gold Standard—linking national currencies to gold reserves and reinforcing trust in value.
Types of Gold (UK, SA and Offshore)
Depending on your region and preferred method of ownership, we offer a range of premium gold bullion products to suit your wealth preservation objectives.
At Golden Dram, we focus on internationally recognised gold bullion coins and bars that are trusted worldwide, easy to store, and simple to buy or sell.
Our gold bullion products are available in a range of weights, with the 1 oz denomination being the most widely traded. Each piece is expertly minted to exacting standards, combining exceptional purity with iconic designs that enhance global recognition and collectability.

Tax on Gold
Where you buy and sell makes a massive difference to your wallet, thanks to very different tax rules around the world.
Here is a quick look at how things work across South Africa, the UK, and our Off Shore vaulting option:
- Value Added Tax (VAT): In the UK you pay 0% VAT on investment-grade gold bars and coins. South Africa you pay 0% on Krugerrands, and locally produced gold bars but pay 15% VAT on all foreign bars and coins.
- Capital Gains Tax (CGT): The UK treats its own legal tender gold coins (like Gold Britannia) as completely tax-free when sold. However, South Africa charges CGT and also uses a worldwide tax system. If you are a SA tax resident, you must declare and pay CGT to SARS on profits from selling gold anywhere in the world, even if you sold it in SA or abroad.
- Mauritius (Freeport Advantage): If you buy and vault gold within the Mauritius Freeport Zone, transactions attract 0% VAT on gold bars and medallions.

Why gold bullions?
A timeless asset. Built for resilience.
Gold has retained its value through centuries of economic and geopolitical change. Regarded as a store of wealth, a hedge against inflation, and a safe-haven asset, it has remained a trusted means of preserving wealth across generations.
Backed by strong global demand and a naturally limited supply, gold bullion combines tangible ownership with global recognition and exceptional liquidity. Clients can choose secure physical delivery or professionally vaulted offshore storage, offering flexibility, security, and peace of mind. Easily bought, sold, and traded in recognised markets worldwide, bullion continues to be a trusted asset for long-term wealth preservation.
