Gold Bullion Coins

By far, Gold Bullion Coins are the most asked about gold bullion products we sell. This is the case for numerous reasons, one being that gold coins not only contain the intrinsic value of gold but also carry the value of its weight and gold purity, which both are backed by central banks throughout the world. Another reason gold coins are so popular, among investors, is that there is rarely a shortage of production since most gold bullion coins are minted yearly and according to demand.

Why Invest In Gold Bullion Coins?

Gold coins offer a unique investment opportunity as you are not only investing in the metal itself, but also the scarcity or rarity of the coin. Many collectors will use mintage as a guide when choosing gold coins to collect. Most larger countries are modern producers of gold coins, while many countries who have been producing them for centuries. Not only do federal governments produce gold coins but there are a number of trustworthy, world renown private mints that do as well.

Gold coins are offered beyond just the 1 oz incremental size. Each gold coin carries a monetary value, depending on the nation's fiat currency, and are struck with the minimum of .999 pure gold, wherein the Canadian Gold Maple or the Australian Gold Kangaroo are .9999 pure.

Popular Gold Bullion Coins

American Gold Eagles: The most sought after gold bullion coin, the Gold Eagles contain 22-karat gold purity and are available in a variety of sizes: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. As an homage to the $20 Liberty Saint-Gaudens' design, the Gold Eagles contain the same obverse design as the Pre-1933 gold relic. The reverse design is a more recent creation, first drafted by Miles Busiek in 1986, when the American Gold Eagles were first released.
American Gold Buffalo: Another familiar design, the American Gold Buffalo design honors the 1913 nickel that was drafted by James Earle Fraser. The obverse contains a side profile portrait of a Native American Chief, while the reverse showcases the American Bison. First released in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo is one of the youngest US coin collections available. The American Gold Buffalo holds the title for first ever 24-karat gold coin, produced by the United States Mint.
South African Kruggerand: First released in 1967, the South African Kruggerand holds the title of first gold bullion coin collection in the world. It became the exclusive vehicle of private gold ownership. In the 1980's, it's popularity took off, and the series was able to release a variety of sizes apart from the 1 oz. The obverse design features Paul Kruger, the first constitutionally elected president of South Africa. The reverse design is of South Africa's national symbol: the Springbok antelope.
Canadian Gold Maple Leaf: One of the purest gold coins, of regular issue, in the world, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is produced by the renown Royal Canadian Mint. Each Gold Maple Leaf proudly carries .9999 on their reverse, indicating exactly how pure they are. The Royal Canadian Mint is a leader in coin security and production, making their Gold Maple Leaf coins impossible to counterfeit.

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is offered in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and more recently, in 1/20 oz as well.
Chinese Gold Panda: Among the few gold coin collections that change their reverse design annually, the Chinese Gold Panda series is also one of the longest running gold coin programs in the world. First minted in 1982, the Gold Panda creates a new reverse design each year that always includes a panda. The reverse showcases the famous Temple of Heaven, located in the heart of Beijing. The Chinese Gold Panda series recently changed their weights so what used to be increments of 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/20 oz, are now 30 grams, 15 grams, 8 grams, 3 grams, and 1 gram.
Pre-1933 US Gold Coins: In 1848, the Independent Treasury Act of 1848 was introduced, placing a strict money standard on business. The American Government required only gold or silver coins as a means of currency. In 1850, the $20 Liberty was first released, containing 90% gold, and became the largest gold coin to be used as money, at the time. Before that, the $10 eagles were the largest gold coin but frustrated the public since the need for more of them was apparent depending on transaction sizes. In 1907, the $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin replaced the $20 Liberty. All gold coin production ceased in 1933, when the Gold Standard ended. Pre-1933 coins carry hefty values and have become very popular among investors, as well as collectors. Golden Eagle Coin's Pre-1933 Gold Coins inventory contains an extremely competitive variety.
Austrian Gold Philharmonic: Minted at the historic Austrian Mint in Vienna, internationally famous for producing exceptional gold coins for more than 800 years, the Austrian Gold Philharmonic is one of the most beautiful modern gold bullion coins.

Mexican Gold Libertad: The Mexican Mint is one of the oldest mints in the Western Hemisphere and has quite the reputation among other countries. In 1921, the Mexican Mint made a gold coin called the Centenario, that represents the 100th year anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain. A winged Victoria was featured on this coin to celebrate their victory over their captors and their well-deserved independence from the prestigious country. The Centenario was such a beloved coin that in 1981, the Mexican Mint decided to start a bullion coin series to honor it. The Mexican Gold Libertad wasn't minted regularly until 1991, making the preceding dates more difficult to find. The Mexican Gold Libertad is offered in weights of 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz.
Australian Gold Kangaroo: Beginning in 1986, the Perth Mint released the Gold Nugget series.

The Perth Mint also changed the design from actual gold nuggets to one of the most recognizable members of the Australian wildlife. Since the Perth Mint already began the Kookaburra series, they thought it would be a smart idea to offer other wildlife coin series and bring some much needed attention to the vast Australian outback. The Australian Gold Kangaroo features Queen Elizabeth II's updated portrait as the obverse design.
