Gold Bullion Coins

Gold bullion coins are official coins made primarily of gold, valued for their metal content rather than face value. They are produced by governments or private mints and contain a specific, measurable amount of pure gold. Investors and collectors buy these coins as a way to own physical gold, which serves as a hedge against economic instability and inflation. Their value is primarily determined by the current market price of gold, plus some collectible or rarity premium. Examples include the American Gold Eagle and the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf.
