Bullion traditionally means
for gold bars, silver bars, other precious metals bars
or ingots. The word bullion originates from the old French word bouillon,
which meant boiling and was the term for a mint or melting house.
A bullion coin is a coin struck
from precious metal and kept as a store of value or an
investment, rather than used in day-to-day commerce.
Investment coins are generally coins that
have been minted after 1800, have a purity of not less than 900 thousandths and
are, or have been, a legal tender in their country of origin.
Bullion coins are usually available
in gold and silver, with the exception of
the Krugerrand and the Swiss Vreneli which are only available in
gold.
The American Eagle series is
available in gold, silver and platinum, and the Canadian Maple Leaf
series is available in gold, silver, platinum and also palladium.
Bullion coins are also typically available
in various weights. These are usually multiples or fractions of 1 troy ounce,
but some bullion coins are produced in very limited quantities in kilograms and
even heavier.
