Gold coin and bar FAQs

What materials are gold coins and bars made of?

Gold coins and bars are mostly made of fine gold, which is measured in purity rather than just weight. 24-carat gold is the purest, containing only traces of other metals. Lower carats are less pure because the gold is combined with other metals like silver, copper, zinc and nickel.

What's the difference between gold coins and bars?

Gold coins are struck pieces of gold often featuring intricate designs, like portraits, national symbols or commemorative artwork. They come in different sizes and weights, with 1oz coins being among the most popular.

Gold bars are cast in simple rectangular shapes, usually stamped with weight, purity and refiner's marks. They also come in different sizes and weights, which influences the price.

How can I check if gold coins and bars are authentic?

Authentic gold coins and bullion bars are produced by trusted mints and refiners, and they usually carry clear markings showing their weight and purity. You can also do something we like to call the 'ping' test. Pure, genuine gold will make a high-pitched ringing noise when struck, while less pure precious metals will make a duller, more muted sound.

If you're unsure about your gold, it's best to have it checked by a professional who can test and confirm its authenticity. If you're buying, make sure to buy from an established seller, like us.
