Why invest in gold coins?
- Globally recognized & quickly marketable
Gold coins such as Maple Leaf, Krugerrand, Britannia, Kangaroo, and Philharmoniker are accepted everywhere. This generally keeps the spread (difference between purchase and sale price) low. - Convenient denominations
From 1 troy ounce (31.103 g) to fractional variants (1/2, 1/4, 1/10 oz): you can tailor your investment to your budget and retain flexibility for later (partial) sales. - VAT-free investment gold
Investment coins meet EU requirements and are exempt from VAT, so you do not pay VAT on the gold value.
Most sold gold investment coins
- Maple Leaf (Canada, 99.99% Au): iconic maple leaf, competitive price/quality ratio.
- Krugerrand (South Africa, 22 carat/91.67% Au): oldest investment coin; contains exactly 1 troy ounce of pure gold.
- Britannia (UK, 99.99% Au): high level of security; strong international marketability.
- Kangaroo (Australia, 99.99% Au): annually changing design; wide availability.
- Wiener Philharmoniker (Austria, 99.99% Au): European favorite with a musical theme.
Which gold coin should I choose?
If you are primarily concerned with cost and liquidity, select a 1 oz bullion coin with the lowest current price. Are you looking for an easy entry point or partial sale? Then smaller denominations, such as 1/4 troy ounce or 1/10 troy ounce coins, are a logical choice.
Prefer historical gold with a low entry point? Consider the gold ten guilder coin (90% Au): slightly lower premium, but highly tradable with our buyback guarantee.
How is the price of a gold coin calculated?
- Gold value (spot): weight of the coin × current gold price per gram.
- Premium: costs for production, distribution, and packaging.
- Trade margin: retailer's fee (transparently included in the product price).
The total price fluctuates in real time with the gold price; therefore, always compare prices per coin type when ordering. Follow the live developments via the gold price.
Pre-owned gold coins: smart and affordable investing
Our pre-owned selection consists of previously traded investment coins that we have carefully checked for weight, size, and purity. You purchase the exact same amount of pure gold at a lower premium per gram. This includes the same buyback guarantee as with new coins.
Sell gold coins
Buy-back guarantee
You can sell your gold coins back to us at any time under clear conditions. For standard 1 oz coins, we offer 100% of the current gold price. Gold coins are sold through our sister company Inkoop Edelmetaal.
Investing in gold with gold coins
- Smaller denominations: ideal for periodic purchases and subsequent partial sales.
- Asset protection: gold is scarce, globally recognized, and historically a stable store of value.
- Diversification: gold contributes defensively within a broad portfolio (stocks/real estate/precious metals).
Should I buy gold coins or gold bars?
For private investors, it is essential to determine in advance whether they want to invest in gold coins or gold bars. Gold coins are usually the most interesting option for most private individuals, while gold bars become particularly attractive from a weight of approximately 50 grams. With larger bars, the production costs per gram are lower than with smaller denominations, which makes the price per gram considerably more favorable.
Flexibility also plays an important role in the choice between coins and bars. A large gold bar is relatively cheaper to purchase than several smaller bars or coins, but limits the options for a later sale. Those who invest in one large gold bar cannot sell it in parts and are always bound by the full weight of the bar in the event of a future sale.
An alternative to this is the gold combibar, a gold bar that can be divided into smaller denominations.

Frequently asked questions about gold coins
What is the best gold coin for the lowest spread?
Usually a 1 oz investment coin with the lowest total price at that time (intrinsic value is the same; premium and margin differ per coin/year).
Are gold coins VAT-free?
Yes, investment coins that meet EU criteria are VAT-free. This applies to Maple Leaf, Krugerrand, Britannia, Kangaroo, and Philharmoniker coins, among others.
Pre-owned gold coins or new: which should I choose?
Pre-owned coins offer the same gold content and marketability at a lower premium. New coins may be interesting if you prefer a specific year/issue.
How quickly can I sell and what determines the price?
Sale is usually possible immediately; the bid price is linked to the current gold price and the coin/denomination type.
What is a gold proof coin?
A gold proof coin is a coin of exceptional collectible quality. Proof coins are minted with polished dies, giving the background a mirror-like finish and the design a matte finish. Each coin is minted and checked individually, often packaged in a capsule with a certificate. They are particularly popular among collectors because of their perfect finish and limited mintage.
What is the difference between proof and mint gold coins?
The difference lies in the production process and finish. Proof coins are manufactured with special care and struck multiple times for sharp detailing. Brilliant Uncirculated or mint state coins are intended as investment coins: they are struck more quickly, have a matte or shiny finish, and are traded at a lower premium relative to the gold price. Proof = collector's quality, mint = investment quality.
