The Greek gold coins have always been a magnet for many collectors and investors due to their long history and their high value.The 20 gold drachmas with the bust of George I and mint date of 1884 is a characteristic Greek gold coin. George I was King of Modern Greece after Otto and was assassinated on March 18, 1913 in Thessaloniki. The evolution of the Greek gold drachmas over the years led to the issuing of the collectible gold euro coins in 2004, on the occasion of the Olympic Games organized in Athens.
The Cypriot gold coins are divided into two categories: they can be either gold pounds or gold euros and they are emblematic and valuable choices one can have in their possession. The Makarios gold pound was minted in 1966 by the Republic of Cyprus and the number of coins minted was limited. They are coins whose value exceeds the corresponding and equal in weight gold sovereign. We can find the Makarios gold pound in various versions. It can be a pound, five pounds, 20 pounds, etc. Depending on the type of pound, it is formed by the weight and its purity. The pound was the official currency of Cyprus until the country joined the European Union on January 1, 2008. With its accession to the European Union, the issuance of euro gold coins began.
The Italian gold coins are famous for their gold fineness and their characteristic classic design. These exceptional gold coins are a representative example of European minting until the end of the 19th century. Due to the long history of Italy, there have been issued many types and designs of Italian gold coins. Lire was the chosen name for the new minting of the empire, which started in 1861. The 5 Lire Vittorio Emanuele II was produced to replace the 5 Lire silver coin. However, very soon, the empire stopped its circulation. Today it is one of the most expensive Italian gold coins.
US gold coins are one of the most popular and sought after categories among connoisseurs of coins, due to the detail observed in the designs that adorn them and their high value.

The most recent member of the 'gold' family of American coins is the American Buffalo, which was first minted in 2006. This coin is also known as the Gold Buffalo.

The gold coin of 10 and 20 francs, also known as "Napoleon" or "Napoleon", depicts the bust of Napoleon Bonaparte.

South African gold coins, or Krugerrands as they are widely known, are even today, the gold coins with the highest sales worldwide.

The Austrian gold coins are one of the most emblematic and valuable classes of coins one can have in their possession.

The gold Sovereign is a great investment since it has maintained its high value over the centuries.
