Buy 1/4 troy ounce gold coins

More flexibility within your portfolio

1/4 troy ounce gold coins are minted by renowned mints, including the US Mint and Royal Canadian Mint. Well-known series include the Maple Leaf, American Eagle, Krugerrand, and Lunar Series. Thanks to their global acceptance, these coins are easy to buy and sell. 

Valuable gift

Due to their compact size and iconic designs, quarter ounce gold coins are also suitable as gifts or for use as savings. They combine tangible value with the security of investment gold. 

The value of a quarter ounce coin is determined by three factors:

• Current gold price: converted to 7.78 grams of gold. 
• Premium: surcharge for production, distribution, and mint margin.
• VAT advantage: investment gold is completely exempt from VAT in the EU.

At The Silver Mountain, you benefit from competitive prices, transparent costs, and the certainty that the price is fixed immediately upon placing your order. 

We also offer pre-owned versions of some quarter ounce gold coins. These second-hand coins are attractively priced and naturally contain the same amount of gold as new gold coins.

Each 1/4 troy ounce gold coin weighs 7.78 grams, but the dimensions and purity vary depending on the issue. The Maple Leaf stands out for its 99.99% purity and compact size of 20 mm.

The American Eagle and the Krugerrand both have a diameter of 22 mm, but differ slightly in thickness (1.83 mm versus 1.89 mm) and share a gold content of 91.67%. The Lunar Series also combines a purity of 99.99% with a slightly larger diameter of 22.6 mm.

Thanks to this variation, each coin has its own character: the Maple Leaf excels in purity, the American Eagle and Krugerrand offer robustness and tradition, and the Lunar adds collectible value with annually changing designs.
