Why choose quarter ounce gold coins?
Investing with a smaller amount
A quarter troy ounce coin contains 7.78 grams of gold, exactly a quarter of a troy ounce. The purchase price is therefore considerably lower than for larger coins such as the 1 troy ounce gold coin or the 1/2 troy ounce gold coin. This makes it possible to buy in smaller increments and spread your purchases out over time. Â
More flexibility within your portfolio
1/4 troy ounce gold coins are minted by renowned mints, including the US Mint and Royal Canadian Mint. Well-known series include the Maple Leaf, American Eagle, Krugerrand, and Lunar Series. Thanks to their global acceptance, these coins are easy to buy and sell.Â
Valuable gift
Due to their compact size and iconic designs, quarter ounce gold coins are also suitable as gifts or for use as savings. They combine tangible value with the security of investment gold.Â
Price structure of a 1/4 troy ounce gold coin
The value of a quarter ounce coin is determined by three factors:
- Current gold price: converted to 7.78 grams of gold.Â
- Premium: surcharge for production, distribution, and mint margin.
- VAT advantage: investment gold is completely exempt from VAT in the EU.
At The Silver Mountain, you benefit from competitive prices, transparent costs, and the certainty that the price is fixed immediately upon placing your order.Â
