Bullion Coins

Bullion coins are coins struck from precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, that follow the metals market fluctuations. While collectible coins, such as commemorative or numismatic issues, are characterized by factors like the year of issue, a limited mintage, and the coin's condition, bullion coins are primarily sought-after for their precious metal content.

What is a Bullion Coin?

Bullion coins are issued by sovereign mints as non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) and will both carry a denomination and have a set weight and purity. Bullion coins can be issued in a variety of sizes including 1 oz., ½ oz., ¼ oz., and even 1-gram issues, amongst other options. In addition to being a compact way to purchase precious metals like silver and gold, many bullion coins feature iconic designs and are issued annually.        

The United States Mint began offering modern bullion coins in 1986 with the introduction of the bullion Silver and Gold American Eagles series, which were later expanded to include Platinum and Palladium Eagles. Other United States Mint series, such as the American Gold Buffalo and America the Beautiful 5 oz. Quarter, also feature bullion versions. 

Many government mints offer at least one bullion coin issue. Some prominent examples from around the world include the Royal Canadian Mint's Silver and Gold Maple Leaf bullion coins, the China Mint's Silver and Gold Panda bullion coins, and The Royal Mint's Silver and Gold Britannia bullion coins.
