[SPONSORED] 20+ Interesting Gold Coin and Gold Bar Designs

If you’re keen to collect something, why not collect gold coins and gold bars? They tend to appreciate in value in the long run. If you get bored of your collection or need money, you can resell it and get back what you paid (and perhaps more than that). You can’t say the same for most other collections.

In this collaboration post with buysilvermalaysia.com (which actually sells a lot of gold too despite the name), we would like to share some interesting gold coin and gold bar designs for your visual pleasure. Your inner pirate will appreciate this.

All gold coins and gold bars from buysilvermalaysia.com have 99.99% purity and backed by reputable companies such as PAMP Suisse, Perth Mint and Royal Canadian Mint, or backed by banks and governments. Most of them come with authentication certificates.

Gold Coins

Perth Mint Series

TIL Perth Mint releases Chinese Zodiac animals-themed gold coins. No prize for guessing who they’re targeting. Three choices available are Lunar Dog, Lunar Rooster and Lunar Monkey. Queen Elizabeth seems to be a popular choice as back design. Check her out in Lunar Rooster – got cheekbones for days wow.

Royal Canadian Mint

No other country is as obsessed with a leaf like Canada, correct or not? Even the Golden Eagle design also got leaf there.

Noting with interest the different coin denomination (see back designs). The smallest coin is 50 cent; the bigger and biggest coins are 50 dollars and 200 dollars.

Canada Maple Leaf

This one is also from Canada but not from Royal Canadian Mint specifically. It’s backed by the Canadian government. To commemorate Idk 25 years of worship for maple leaves probably.

Gold Britannia Series

People’s Bank of China Series

It’s China, so not surprised by the panda-themed coins. One closeup shot, one full body shot. Both chubby.

Gold Bars

This section is all about gold bars! I was surprised by the offerings, tbh. The packaging is much more amazing than I thought!

PAMP Suisse Series

PAMP Suisse is one of the biggest names in gold industry – their reputation is solid.

It slightly bothers me that the Lady Fortuna image is anatomically incorrect. How you hold the gold coins if your body turned sideways like that?

Gold bars

These are the ugliest gold bars among the lot, but the most valuable by sheer volume. Yes, that’s how 50g, 100g, 500g and a kilo of gold looks like. That’s what banks stack up in vaults. In movies, you always see a mountain of them right? Click the link to find out how much ONE of them cost.
