Here is a brief look at 5 gold bullion products worth investing in.

1.     Austrian Philharmonics

You can purchase these coins in Central Europe and store them anywhere. For example, you can store them in Vienna, the capital city of Austria.

They can be bought by many dealers all across Australia and are generally less famous than Maple Leafs and Gold Eagles; hence, they are one of the best bullion products for internationalisation.


2.     Canadian Maple Leafs

The Canadian Maple Leaf is produced by the Royal Canadian Mint about 25 years ago and is one of the most well-known gold bullion products. It was the second gold coin to be minted after the South African Krugerrand. It has a gold content of around 0.9999 and is considered the purest gold coin. Their weight is about one ounce and they are traded in countries like Hong Kong. They are an excellent addition to your investment portfolio.

4.     American Eagles

Very popular in the United States, these gold American Eagle coins are 22 carat.

Nevertheless, it is one of the best gold bullion coins to invest in. The content of gold present in American Eagles is around 0.9167.

5.     The Krugerrand

The South African Krugerrand is the first bullion coin to be minted about 50 years ago. It has a colourful history and it was an attempt to market gold, which is found in abundance in South Africa. It is very well-known among investors. These bullion coins consist of about 0.9167 gold and have a weight of around 1.1 ounces.

The Krugerrand can be credited as the first gold coin that took the world by storm; it served as a legal tender for the general public. Currently, the Krugerrand holds the greatest number of ounces when it comes to gold bullion coins; more than all of the gold bullion coins combined internationally.
