How is the value of a gold coin determined?

The value of the coin depends on the current daily gold rate and the fineness of the coin. Many coins are made of 99.9% gold (fineness 999/1000). These include, for example, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Maple Leaf, the China Panda, the Mexican Libertad coin and the American Buffalo.
Ducats, for example, consist of 98.6% gold, the Krugerrand of 91.67% and the Austrian crown gold coins or the guilder have a fine gold content of 90%.

Collector coins are an exception and can have a higher value, as they are coveted by collectors on the one hand and limited on the other.

Frequently asked questions when selling gold coins:

How much your coin is worth depends on various factors. The value of investment gold coins is based on the material value and is primarily determined by the current gold price on the world market. Prices above the pure material value are also paid for sought-after collector coins.

The value of Austrian gold coins is based on the material of the coins, the size (weight) and the price of gold on the world market. Austrian gold coins are issued by the Austrian Mint. The most well-known bullion coins of the MÖ are the Golden Vienna Philharmonic as well as gold ducats, crown and guilder coins. The latter are restrikes of historical currencies.
In addition, the Austrian Mint also issues euro and former schilling gold coins every year. The euro gold coins are made of 999 gold, but are also collected so that their value is traded above the pure material price.

The price of gold is currently (summer 2025) at a high level. In recent months and years, the price of gold has risen considerably and is at a high level. However, many analysts and banks are forecasting a further rise in the price of gold for the rest of the year and beyond. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that there are many factors that influence the price of gold, that the price of gold fluctuates and that the price can rise or fall at any time.

No, in Austria there is no automatic obligation for precious metal dealers to report the sale of gold to the tax office. However, dealers are legally obliged to document the identity of the seller when making a purchase, regardless of the amount. A report to the authorities is only made if there is suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing.

The difference between the buying and selling prices for gold, also known as the "spread", is the trading margin that dealers need for their services in order to be profitable. This margin covers various costs, such as the valuation, processing, recycling and melting down of old gold. For investment products such as bars and coins, the spread is usually lower than for jewelry, as these are resold directly and do not have to be melted down.

A professional and non-binding valuation of gold coins can be carried out by dealers specializing in precious metals such as Gold&Co. The value of a gold coin is determined by several factors, including the current gold price, the fineness and the weight. The rarity and condition of the coin can also play a role, which is particularly important for collector coins.
