Gold Coins World

One of the most well known gold coins produced by other countries than the US is the Canadian Maple Leaf. Minted by the Royal Canadian Mint, this coin is a pure .9999 (24 Karat) gold coin with no additional alloys added. Due to a special minting process the Canadian Maple Leaf is the purest of all gold coins.

Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins are official legal tender and come in size ranging from 1/20 to 1 Troy ounce. It is the best investment as you buy pure gold.

Gold Sovereigns first appeared in the 15th century in the UK under King Henry the VIIth. These coins are very rare and worth as much as $12,000US.

There are two types of Modern day Gold Sovereigns, the UK and the Australian Sovereign.

Many of these are worth more than the value of gold they contain, due to their rarity and the regard people have for them. Early Australian Gold Sovereigns have increased 10 fold since 1977.

Gold Sovereigns are collected more as an investment and therefore you should look at the condition the coin is in. They are expected to improve in value very nicely over the medium to long term.

The Krugerrand gold coin is named after Stephanus Johannes Paul Kruger, a former South African President. The Krugerrand was first produced in 1967 and contains exactly one ounce (31.1.55 grams) of fine gold.

Since 1980 smaller sized coins were minted including a half, quarter and one tenth ounce coins.

The Krugerrand is a solid gold coin that clunks satisfactorily in your hand and the gold content is guaranteed.

Other World Coins are the Panda Gold Coin, The Mexican Gold Coin, Roman Gold Coins, Russian, Chinese, Spanish and Austrian Gold Coins.

Also of interest are some very unusual gold coins like the Augustus Humbert $50 gold slugs. These 8 sided coins can fetch as much as $250,000 USD.
