Top 5 Gold Investments

Looking to invest in gold but not sure what to buy? Here are our top 5 best-selling gold bullion investments including a brief profile of each product and who buys them.

1. 1oz Gold Britannia Coin

The 1oz gold Britannia is one of our best-selling products favoured by investors. Gold Britannias offer
larger investors the perfect balance between flexibility and cost, tending to be the cheapest way
to buy British coins.

Gold Britannia coins are easy to store, trade and sell due to their relatively small unit size.

Unit Size: 1 ounce (oz)
Manufacturer: Royal Mint
Karat: 24 karat (2013 onwards)

Please note: Gold Britannias manufactured during 2012 or earlier are 22 karat purity. These
gold Britannia coins contain exactly 1 troy ounce of pure 24kt gold, but their weight was slightly
higher than 31.1g or 1 troy ounce.

Who buys gold Britannia coins?
Investors spending $10-20k or more.
Large investors looking to spend $50k - $100k plus.
Large investors holding larger unit bars seeking added flexibility.

2. 1oz Gold American Eagle Coin

Gold Eagle coins are the most recognisable US coin in the world and are our second best-
selling product on our American site. The coins are made to the same specifications as the
gold Krugerrand coins from South Africa. The gold Eagles contain 31.10g of pure gold, as
well as nearly two grams of other metal to make a stronger alloy. While the Krugerrand
typically uses copper (hence the orange colouring), the Gold Eagles use both copper (5.33%)
and silver (3%) in order to stay true to the gold colouring.

The cheapest coin, the Best Value American Eagle, will represent the best value as all 1oz
gold Eagles are worth the same when selling to a dealer.

Unit Size: 33.9 grams
Manufacturer: US Mint
Karat: 22 karat gold coin. Contains 31.10 grams of pure 24kt gold.

Who Buys Gold Eagles?
First time investors
Larger investors spending $100,000 +

3. 100g Gold Bar

100g gold bars are our most commonly invested size bars favoured by investors of all types.
100g bars represent better value for money than coins whilst still maintaining an element of
flexibility and are often purchased in addition to smaller unit coins and bars.

All our bars are essentially the same with prices varying on your preferred brand. The cheapest
bar (Best Value 100g Bars) will represent the best value as they are all worth the same at resale.

Unit Size: 100 grams
Manufacturers: Umicore, Heraeus, Metalor & PAMP
Karat: 24 karat pure gold.

Investors seeking greater value for money whilst requiring relative flexibility.

Investors who like to mix unit sizes holding bars and coins.

4. 1oz Canadian Maple Gold Coin

The gold Maple comes from neighbouring Canada, and like the Britannia and the Eagle is one
of the world's most recognisable coins

The Maple offers a very good balance between value and flexibility, and is easy to store, trade
and sell. The Canadian Mint has a reputation as a leader in refining quality, and recently reached
999.99 purity on a new 2019 gold coin.

The 1 ounce bars are very easy to store and sell. All bars are essentially the same product with
prices varying on your preferred brand. The cheapest bar (Best Value 1oz Bar) represents the
best value for money as they are all worth the same when selling back to a dealer.
