Investing in Gold Bullion - Coins and Bars
Both gold bars and gold coins are forms of gold bullion, which is the most-readily available form of gold.
Bullion coins and small bars allow private investors to purchase gold in smaller amounts. Both assets come in a variety of weights and sizes, and are a simple and practical way to invest in gold without leveraging all of your savings.
Bullion coins
In 1967, the South African government issued the Krugerrand, the first ounce-denominated gold bullion coin in the world. At the time, South Africa accounted for nearly 70 percent of the world's gold output and wanted to make it simple for investors to purchase smaller quantities of gold.
The South African government's solution was to mint a coin that weighed exactly one troy ounce, with the coin's price directly tied to its fine gold content. The widespread success of the Krugerrand encouraged other countries to issue their own coins. Today, you can select from an array of gold bullion coins that are issued by governments across the world.
Gold bullion coins range in size from 1/20 of an ounce to more than 1 kg, although most coins weigh less than one ounce. Gold bullion coins are legal tender in the country that issued them. Because they are legal tender, the gold content of bullion coins is guaranteed.
Despite having a face value, gold bullion coins derive their value from their gold content (purity) and the price of gold.
Investors should note that purchasing gold bullion coins from dealers incurs premium fees. These premiums are higher for smaller denominations.
Gold bars
Gold bars range in size from one troy ounce to 400 troy ounces. A 400 troy ounce gold bar (also known as a London Good Delivery Bar) is the bar often seen in movies. As of September 2011, a London Good Delivery Bar was worth nearly $800,000 USD.
Small gold bars weigh 1 kg or less. Like bullion coins, small gold bars and their lower prices allow a broader range of investors to purchase gold.
Broker commissions on the purchase and sale of gold bars are minimal, making them one of the most cost-efficient ways to invest in gold.
Besides physical assets like coins and bars, you can also hold gold assets in a Swiss Annuity. We encourage you to fill out the proposal request form on the top right of this page and visit our page on The Swiss Gold Annuity™.
