The 1/2 troy ounce gold coins are obviously cheaper than larger gold coins, but the production costs of these coins are proportionally a bit higher than the 1 troy ounce coins. Therefore, the 1/2 troy ounce gold coins are mainly popular with investors who want to invest in gold for a somewhat lower amount and/or add diversity to their gold collection.
