The One Tonne Gold Coin

By JacquelineBrewster

Most investors know that in the case of gold it is not always the quantity that dictates the price of the precious metal. In the case of coins, some are more valuable than larger gold bars because of other criteria like rarity, the moment they were minted, the mint defects and the history behind them. Now, imagine a coin made from the precious metal, that is bound to have a history behind it and that weighs one tone! There cannot be something else more valuable than that.

Believe it or not, the one tone gold coin has been minted. It is considered to be to most valuable in the history of human kind because of the huge quantity of yellow metal used to mint it. The Perth mint from Australia is the one behind this idea that is worth the amazing sum of 54 million dollars.

Besides being made from the precious metal, the one tone coin actually weighs more than one tone. It weighs one thousand and 12 kilograms. Because of that, it is 12 centimeters thick and 80 centimeters wide. All these features make it unique in the world as there isn’t any other coin with similar dimensions. Moreover, the gold it is made from is 99.99 percent pure.

If professionals say that the most common and traditional way to invest in gold is by purchasing either bars or coins, investors must really want to own this new product of the Australian mint. And who wouldn’t want it? Its value goes beyond the imagination of small investors, even if the Australian state gave it legal tender status while the face value is considered to be of only one million dollars. The best thing about this coin is that in time its value is going to rise more and more because of its uniqueness.

Those who have already seen it describe it as breath-taking. On the one side it features a kangaroo with the Red Kangaroo inscription at the bottom and the ‘Australian kangaroo 1 Tonne 9999 Gold 2012’ surrounding the picture. On the other side it features the portrait of the Queen Elizabeth the Second and it has the inscription ‘1000000 dollars. Australia.’ in a circle that is completed by the name of the sovereign. Since the Australian mint knows perfectly well that the massive coin featuring a kangaroo is not at the reach of the investors, its release coincided with the release of other smaller coins that almost anyone who appreciates gold can purchase.
