Frequently asked questions about 1 troy ounce gold coins
What is a troy ounce?
A troy ounce is a unit of weight traditionally used for precious metals, such as gold and silver. One troy ounce is equal to 31.103 grams. The troy ounce is the standardized unit of weight, making it easy to compare the value of different amounts of gold and silver.
Almost all known investment coins worldwide are minted in 1 troy ounce or a fraction thereof. These smaller gold coins of 1/2 troy ounce, for example, are also called fractional coins.
Why is the price of gold also expressed in troy ounces?
The troy ounce has been the standard weight measure for precious metals, including gold, for centuries. This is because the troy system is a more accurate and consistent system than other weight measurement systems, such as the avoirdupois system we use for everyday use.
In addition, the troy ounce is an internationally recognized weight measure, which means it is used the same all over the world. This makes it easier to trade and price gold internationally. This is also why the gold price is also expressed in troy ounces, this way there can be no ambiguity when converting the gold price from grams to troy ounces, for example.
Which gold 1 troy ounce coin is best to buy?
It is not possible to name one gold coin as the best coin to buy. The final choice of coin depends on personal goals and wishes. Worldwide, however, there are a number of gold 1 troy ounce coins that are considered the best-known gold investment coins. These coins are popular and negotiable worldwide, sourced from recognized producers and minted in a high gold content of at least 99.9% pure gold.
The most popular gold coins are the Krugerrand from South Africa, the Maple Leaf from Canada, the American Eagle from the United States, the Philharmoniker from Austria and the Britannia from the United Kingdom. We sell newly minted coins from official distributors of the mint houses, as well as pre-owned gold coins that we purchase from individuals.
When do gold coins qualify as investment gold?
Gold coins fall under investment gold if they meet a number of conditions. For example, gold coins must be at least 90% pure, minted after 1800 and be or have been legal tender in the country of origin. Investment gold is therefore not subject to VAT upon purchase. However, gold is part of your assets and therefore your investment gold needs to be declared in Box 3.
