Actual Gold Content Of Britannia Coins

[joeywoodland]

Hi, could someone help me understand how the 1oz gold britannia coins contain one full ounce (31.1g) of gold when the total weight of the coin is also 31.1g (including the silver alloy) ? Am i missing something here ?

Thanks

Joey

Britannia coins weigh 34g - 1 troy oz of gold plus the alloy metal - which i believe is silver for most of the britannias
