World Coins

South African Coins are primarily of interest to bullion buyers. The South African Gold Krugerrand was one of the first gold bullion coins on the market and it was very popular in the United States before the American Gold Eagle was available. The Krugerrand is still one of the world’s most well-known bullion coins and an excellent choice for anyone stacking gold.

Australian Coins are always a hit with collectors. Australia’s Perth Mint produces a number of fine bullion products, but some of their coins are truly unique. Australian coins have great designs and may have other features such as color, gemstones, or ultra high-relief. All of these features and limited mintages make Australian coins an excellent choice to add to any collection. Australia is also well-known for its extremely popular series of Lunar designs, offering Australian Silver Lunar Coins and Australian Gold Lunar Coins. This series is very collectible and the designs each year follow the Chinese Zodiac.

The Austrian Mint is actually one of the oldest in the world and its history can be traced back for hundreds of years. Today they make some of the world’s most popular coins, such as the Philharmonic bullion coin and the silver Maria Theresa Thaler.

Other World Coins come from smaller countries that aren’t as well known, such as Niue, Tuvalu, and Tokelau. These countries may be newer to the coin market than others, but their coins are usually produced by larger Mints with an established reputation. For example, a number of coins from these countries are actually produced by Australia’s legendary Perth Mint.
