Buy gold coins

Gold coins are available in various weights and are minted by official mints. These coins are struck in pure gold (at least 99.9% gold content) and are offered at a price based on the current gold price. Almost always, a gold coin has a nominal value displayed on the front of the coin. However, the actual value of the gold is always higher, and this nominal value is symbolic in nature.

The benefits of pre-owned coins

When purchasing gold coins, you often have the choice, depending on availability, between coins from the current year and coins from previous years. Coins from previous years come from the private market and are therefore sourced from individuals. The weight and purity of these coins are identical, but the cost is lower.

Our range includes a wide variety of gold coins, ranging from investment-grade gold coins to collectible gold coins.
 
The most common gold coins are minted in 1 troy ounce, equivalent to 31.103 grams. There are several gold coins that are globally recognized and highly tradable. The Silver Mountain offers well-known investment-grade gold coins such as the Krugerrand and Maple Leaf.

More information

The golden Krugerrand originates from South Africa and was the world's first gold investment coin. The coin contains a small amount of copper, which gives it added durability and a reddish hue. The Krugerrand has a gold fineness of 91.67% (22 carat) and weighs 33.93 grams, precisely equivalent to 1 troy ounce of pure gold. In contrast, the golden Maple Leaf from Canada is minted in 99.99% pure gold and also weighs exactly 1 troy ounce.
 
In other countries as well, gold investment coins are issued. Examples include the Austrian Gold Philharmonic and the Australian Gold Kangaroo. These coins are also globally recognized and tradable.
 
Gold investment coins feature unique designs. Minting authorities are required to indicate the face value on the coin for it to be considered legal tender. Without this indication, the gold object cannot be traded as a coin and would be subject to VAT. Gold coins are traded at prices slightly above the gold price itself due to premiums that are a few percentage points higher than the current gold rate.
 

Pre-owned Gold Coins

When purchasing gold coins, depending on availability, you have the choice between coins from the current year and coins from previous years (pre-owned coins). Coins from the current year are purchased by The Silver Mountain through official distributors of the mints. This is often more expensive due to production costs and insured transportation costs to the Netherlands.
 
Pre-owned coins are bought from private individuals by us. While the weight and purity of these coins are identical, their cost is lower. The Silver Mountain passes on this benefit, which is why coins from previous years are cheaper than newly minted coins.
 
In addition to well-known investment coins, there are also many coins in circulation that were once used as legal tender. Because pure gold is quite fragile, coins that served as legal tender are often minted in a lower gold fineness, typically around 90% gold. An example is the Dutch Gold Ten Guilder coin, in circulation since 1818. In Europe, the 20 Franc coins are also popular, used as legal tender in Switzerland, France, and Belgium.

Buying gold coins as an investment

In practice, 1 troy ounce gold coins are the most commonly purchased. The price per gram is lower, and the spread between buying and selling prices is narrower compared to gold bars of similar weights. For larger purchase amounts and weights starting from 50 grams, gold bars tend to be more cost-effective.

More information

To make an informed decision, you can consult our Buying Guide. Based on the most current data, our Buying Guide calculates which product or products are available at the lowest price per gram. It also provides insight into the difference between the purchase price and selling price.
 
As a rule of thumb, 1 troy ounce gold coins are often attractive to individual buyers, while gold bars weighing 50 grams and 100 grams become more advantageous at larger amounts. Smaller gold bars and gold coins tend to have higher acquisition costs.

Buying fractional gold coins

In addition to the 1 troy ounce variant, we also offer smaller denominations of coins in our range. We have coins ranging from 1/25 troy ounce up to 2 troy ounces. Additionally, we offer Dutch 'gouden tientjes' (gold ten guilder coins) and 'gouden dukaten' (gold ducats) in our assortment.

Storing golden coins safely

Gold coins represent high value and density. Due to gold's high weight and small surface area, it takes up little space and you can easily store it somewhere. Gold coins come in airtight containers to ensure the gold stays in good condition.
 
Storing gold at home is possible, but it is almost never insured so it may be wise to store the gold at a specialised company. At Edelmetaal Beheer Nederland, it is possible to have your gold coins stored. Storage is possible both in the Netherlands and in Switzerland. You pay a storage fee for this storage facility.
 
Of course, you can also choose to spread out and store the gold in several places. In any case, if you invest in gold, it is always important that you have easy physical access to it yourself. A common saying in the gold trade is not for nothing ‘If you can't hold it, you don't own it’.

Buyback guarantee for gold coins

Gold coins are often highly liquid, meaning that it is always possible to sell them at a fair price. This price is based on the gold value of the coins. There is no consideration for collector value upon resale, so the condition of the coins and the specific year are not relevant.
 
For gold investment coins, such as the gold American Eagle and the gold Kangaroo, you receive a unique buyback guarantee at The Silver Mountain. This buyback guarantee means that you can always sell the gold coins back, regardless of the price or quantity, at a fixed formula. The bid price for gold coins of 1 troy ounce corresponds to 100% of the gold price at the time you wish to sell. This ensures that you can always easily sell your gold coins.
 
For coins of other denominations or lower gold purities, our bid price is different. For example, the bid price for gouden tientjes (Dutch gold ten-guilder coins) is 95% to 98% of the current gold price. These coins are slightly less liquid. Our subsidiary, Inkoop Edelmetaal, buys all gold coins and always displays the most recent bid price on its website.
