Different types of coins

There are two types of coins, commemorative or bullion coins and coins struck for circulation. Generally it is the gold bullion coins that have the highest value. Probably one of the best known gold bullion coins is the South African gold Krugerrand, which was the first gold coin to weigh one troy ounce of 22 carat gold. Other gold bullion coins include the British Britannia and Sovereign, the American Gold Eagle and Austrian Gold Philharmonic. The price of Krugerrands and other gold bullion coins generally depends on the market value of gold. The price may also depend on the age, the number originally produced and the the design quality of the coin. Krugerrands are the most popular coins for buyers because they generally have the lowest premium on top of the intrinsic value of the coin. When the Krugerrand was first struck in the 1960s it's typical premium was 3% whereas other bullion coins of the time like the Sovereign had premiums of around 40%. Since then other mint's have reduced their premiums to around 10%. Some mints have started to produce silver and platinum coins like American Silver Eagles.
