Why invest in gold coins?
Gold coins have been used as a store of value for thousands of years and are still considered a safe haven asset today.
Gold coins can hold legal tender status, meaning that they are officially recognized in the market and can be used for payments, which can be a significant benefit for savers and investors.
Collectible coins, on the other hand, can have their value going up depending on their rarity and collectors' interest.
Moreover, collectible coins can help investors diversify their portfolio and balance out riskier and more volatile investments such as stocks and crypto.
Which gold coins to buy?
There are several types of gold coins to choose from, including mint coins and collector coins.
Mint coins are typically produced by government mints and are considered legal tender in their respective countries.
Collector coins, like the Queen's Beasts and the Australian Kangaroo, hold value due to their distinctiveness and possess the potential to appreciate over time, depending on the interest of collectors.
Gold coins also come in different sizes. Whether it's a 1 oz gold coin or a smaller 1/10 oz gold coin, they captivate coin enthusiasts with their inherent value and beauty.
For coins, the highest level of gold purity is 999.9 (see our 999 gold coin collection). These coins, including Britannia gold coins and Canadian Maple Leaf coins, showcase an array of designs, often commemorating historical events, iconic figures, or cultural symbols.
Meanwhile, the renowned gold Krugerrand, among other coins, has a purity of 916.7, meaning that it also contains a copper alloy that gives distinct orange-gold glow to these coins.
However, it’s important to remember that both 999.9-pure Canadian Maple Leaf and 916.7-pure Krugerrand coins contain an equal amount of gold —1 troy ounce in the case of the primary coin size. Their purity is different because of the additional elements blended with the gold content, determining the coin's final appearance and hardness.
Gold coins: world mints and manufacturers
Several mints around the world produce and sell gold coins, including the Royal Mint in the United Kingdom, the Perth Mint in Australia, and the Royal Canadian Mint. These are reputable mints that issue high-quality gold coins that are recognized worldwide.

Modern gold coins and historical gold coins: what’s the difference?

Historical gold coins, on the other hand, may have a higher premium due to their rarity and historical significance.
In any case, both types of gold coins can be a good investment, depending on your investment goals and strategy.
How to choose between buying gold coins and other physical gold products?
In addition to gold coins, there are other physical gold products you can investi in, such as gold bars and silver coins.
A notable distinction between coins and bars is that the manufacturing process of coins is usually more mmmmmtime-consuming and expensive compared to bars, resulting in their varying prices.
Silver coins are often less expensive than gold coins and can be a great way to diversify your investment portfolio, especially if you’re just starting your precious metals journey.
