An Overview of the Gold Coins we have available for Purchase and Sale in Zurich

Gold coins – government minted assets

In the 6th Century BC King Croesus first minted coins from gold with defined quality properties and uniform weight and value, which greatly simplified the determination of the purchasing power of the coins tendered and thus their exchangeability. Central to the value of a gold coin, therefore, was not primarily the face value stamped on it (if there was one) but the intrinsic gold value resulting from the weight and the alloy. Gold coins were still in circulation as a means of payment up until the 1930s. Nowadays, they are no longer used for payment but they continue to be very popular with investors (and in some cases collectors).
