The advantages of a half troy ounce gold coin
Half ounce coins are part of our wide range of gold coins. This means you can always choose the size that best suits your investment strategy.
Accessible investing with a favorable premium
The 1/2 troy ounce coin contains 15.55 grams of gold. The purchase price is lower than that of a 1 troy ounce gold coin, while the premium per gram is more favorable than that of 1/4 ounce coins or 1/10 ounce coins. This format therefore combines accessibility with favorable price efficiency.
Diversification and flexibility when selling
Those who opt for half-ounce coins can invest in smaller increments and easily sell part of their position later on. This gives you more freedom and flexibility within your portfolio, without compromising on the value or tradability of the gold.
Globally recognized coins of the highest quality
Selling your 1/2 troy ounce gold coins is facilitated through our subsidiary, Inkoop Edelmetaal. You can bring your gold coins to us in person, send them by mail, or arrange for them to be picked up. Payment will be made within 48 hours.
How is the price of a half troy ounce coin calculated?
The price of a 1/2 troy ounce gold coin is linked to the current gold price and the size of the coin:
- Gold price converted to 15.55 grams of gold: this is exactly half a troy ounce.
- Premium per gram: for half ounces, this is often higher than for 1 oz coins, but more favorable than for 1/4 or 1/10 oz coins. This makes this size interesting for investors seeking balance.
- VAT exemption: like all gold investment coins, half ounces are also exempt from VAT in the EU.
New or pre-owned: your choice with half ounce coins
In addition to new issues, we also regularly offer pre-owned gold coins. These second-hand variants are more attractively priced, as the premium has already been paid by the first buyer. The gold value and marketability remain fully intact.
