Take a close look at 0 well-known coins. Learn how they differ, how their security works and what makes up the price.
The edge on the model is illustrative. A real coin has its own edge design, which can serve as a security feature, so mints do not publicly show some edge designs.
Each of the ten is struck by a state mint, and every issue has its own authenticity features. Tap a dot to magnify that part of the image; switch between frames — obverse, reverse, edge, at an angle.
How to check any coin
Use the coin specifications above for comparison. Dealers’ instruments detect sophisticated counterfeits by testing the metal through the full thickness of the coin without damaging it.
Look at the actual pure gold content, not the total weight of the coin. For example, a coin of 916 fineness weighs almost 34 grams, but contains exactly one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of pure gold. You pay for the pure metal, not the alloying metals.
Calculate the premium over the spot price rather than looking only at the catalogue price. With equal liquidity, a lower premium means a rising market can bring your purchase into profit sooner.
Check how widely recognised the coin is and the spread between its buying and selling prices. A classic one-ounce coin is liquid worldwide, while a rare or little-known issue may only be accepted at a steep discount.
Make sure the coin’s measurements (diameter, thickness and weight) can be checked without damage, and that the seller is identifiable, verifiable and offers an open buyback guarantee.

Yes. An investment coin is a disc of gold struck by a state mint. You can hold it in your hand, keep it at home or in a safe box and pass it on as an inheritance. No “records on an account”.
A one-ounce coin is 30 to 37 mm across, a little larger than a 2-euro coin, and about 31 grams. Inside there are 31.1 g of pure gold; the Krugerrand and the Eagle hold the same gold but weigh 33.9 g because of the alloy. The selection has other weights too: the Panda is 30 g, the Sovereign has 7.32 g of gold.
The face value is the symbol of a state issue: formally the coin is legal tender in its country. But its price is set by the gold inside, not by the figure on the obverse. Paying with it at face value would be a loss, and the status does not promise that it will be “accepted everywhere at the price of gold”.
Three levels: exact weight and size (scales and callipers), the visible security features of the specific issue (for example, four on the Britannia 2026) and an instrument check at a dealer. JetGold shows which features the mint itself declares and does not attribute them to older years.
An insured parcel to your door or collection at a pick-up point, with a video of your own order being packed. The path is simple: choose, look at the terms, order, receive. Times and terms for your address are shown when you place the order.
This is exactly why a well-known coin matters: dealers all over the world know it, and checking takes minutes, not weeks. At JetGold selling back is the same clear path: choose a coin of your own, see the buyback price, hand it over and get paid.
