Gold Coins

Gold Coins - buy gold at auThe definition of a gold coin is one which is made completely or almost completely from the precious metal gold. 

Gold has been utilised to produce coins since coinage was first created.  Gold was one of the main precious metals used in coinage because of its inherent value.

Today gold coinage is valued either as collector’s items or for its investment potential in the form of gold bullion.  In this case, the nominal value of gold bullion is immaterial as coins serve as a means of investing in gold and are not used for trading goods and services in the traditional sense.

There are various gold coins that are available:

  • Gold Sovereigns
  • Gold Krugerrands
  • Gold Maple Leaf coins
  • Gold Australian Kangaroo Nuggets
