Gold Coins
There are many fine gold coins minted all across the world, some even with different faces depending on what year they were minted. No matter when or where they’re from, you can sell all of them at GoldMax! Let’s take a look at just a few of them now.
American Eagle
Gold Composition: 91.67% gold
Gold Fine Weight: 1.0 troy ounce
First released by the United States Mint in 1986, this coin features Lady Liberty’s full-length figure with her hair blowing in the breeze, a version of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ 1907 sketches for the $20 double-eagle, inspired by Greek coins but with distinctly American symbols such as the torch and olive branch. The reverse side depicted a family of eagles until 2021, now replaced with the portrait of an eagle’s head.
Canadian Maple Leaf
Gold Composition: 99.9-99.99% gold
Gold Fine Weight: 1 gram to 1 troy ounce
With Walter Ott’s distinctive Sugar Maple Leaf on the reverse and the Canadian Monarch on the obverse, this coin has been produced by the Royal Canadian Mint since 1979 with a fineness of .999 until the end of 1982, when it was increased to .9999 fine gold! During its run, more than 25 million troy ounces have been sold!
South African Krugerrand
Gold Composition: 91.67% gold
Gold Fine Weight: .10 to 1.0 troy ounce
With only the 1oz size minted from 1967-1979, the South African Mint opted to include smaller sizes in 1980. The reverse depicts the image of a Springbok antelope, created in the 1930s while the obverse pictures Paul Kruger, former president often refered lovingly to as Oom Paul (Uncle Paul), whose name combined with the South African currency, the Rand, creates the name of this highly recognizable coin.
Austrian Philharmonic
Gold Composition: 99.99% gold
Gold Fine Weight: .10 to 1.0 troy ounce
Produced by Münze Österreich since 1989, this is the only European coin with its value listed in Euro since it switched from Shilling in 2002! This coin has an unchanging design created by Thomas Pesendorfer, with orchestral instruments on one side and the balcony of the “Golden Hall”, the Musikverein Concert Hall, and its famed giant pipe organ on the other.
Mexican Libertad
Gold Composition: 90-99.9% gold
Gold Fine Weight: .05-1.0 troy ounce
Minted since 1981 by La Casa de Moneda de México (Mexican Mint), the obverse of this coin remains unchanged since its creation, depicting the Mexican coat of arms with an eagle battling a serpent while perched on a cactus, and the reverse features Winged Victory, a symbol of independence and hope for the Mexican people based on the Roman goddess of victory, the aptly named Victoria. Her image was shifted from a frontal view to a three quarter profile in 1999.
PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna Ingot
Gold Composition: 99.99% gold
Gold Fine Weight: 1 gram and up
First introduced in 1979, this beautifully minted ingot depicts the Roman goddess of good fortune wearing a blindfold to display her impartiality. She is surrounded by symbols of her attributes, with sheaves of wheat and a poppy flower in her hair, the Wheel of Fortune peeking out from behind her, and the Horn of Plenty spilling precious coins into the Hands of Fortune at the very bottom.
Johnson Matthey Ingot
Gold Composition: 99.99% gold
Gold Fine Weight: 1 gram and up
Founded as a gold assaying business in London in 1817 by Percival Norton Johnson, Johnson Matthey became the Bank of England’s offical gold assayer one year after George Matthey joined the business in 1851. The company branched out in the years to come into the production of jewelry, silverware, cutlery, and more, and worked its way into the banking industry by the 1960s. They departed from precious metals in 2014, closing refineries that dealt in gold and silver to focus on recycling and reusing the six platinum-group metals: ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum.
