Best-value versus current-year
A “best value” Britannia is supplied in whatever year the dealer holds. The gold content is identical to a current-year coin and the premium is usually lower, so if you are buying for metal content it is the better purchase.
A current-year coin costs a little more for a guaranteed date and uncirculated condition. That matters if you are assembling a set; it buys you nothing if you are buying gold.
Britannias are 24 carat and therefore softer than a 22 carat Sovereign or Krugerrand. They mark more easily, and condition affects what a dealer will pay when you sell.
