They are particularly prized, and the price at which they sell on the art market ranges from €10 to €800,000, a fairly substantial range, but one that says a lot about the value that can be attributed to these objects.

Characteristics and diversity of gold coins  

Gold coins are distinguished by their varied characteristics and diversity, reflecting their origin, era and use. Generally made from pure gold or gold alloys, they may have different degrees of purity, often indicated in carats or thousandths. Gold coins include historic coins such as ducats, sovereigns and krugerrands, as well as commemorative and modern coins like American Gold Eagles and Canadian Gold Maple Leafs. They feature engraved designs that may represent historical figures, national symbols or significant events. Size, weight and fine engraving details vary, offering collectors a wide range of specimens. Gold coins are prized not only for their intrinsic precious metal value, but also for their beauty, rarity and historical significance.

Success of these items on the auction market

Selling gold coins at auction offers several advantages for owners and collectors alike. This market offers an international platform, attracting buyers from all over the world, which can increase the chances of obtaining a high price. In addition, competition between bidders can drive up prices, often well beyond the intrinsic value of the gold, due to the attraction of rare, historic or excellent condition pieces. Auctions also offer transparency in the sales process, and the provenance of the coins. For sellers, it's an opportunity to maximize the return on their investment, while benefiting from increased visibility with a passionate and well-informed public.

The current high price of gold also plays a major role in auctions of these collectors' items.
