Given the number of gold bullion collections in the world, it would be an exhaustive exercise to run down all of the 1/2 oz gold coin collections out there for investors to consider. Generally speaking, you can break down 1/2 oz gold coins in two ways: by mint and by type. These coins are commonly offered from sovereign and private mints, with uncirculated and proof versions available from both types of producers.
When you invest in uncirculated 1/2 oz gold coins, you’ll find that most major sovereign bullion collections offer this affordable alternative to 1 oz gold coins. This includes the likes of the American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, Mexican Libertad, British Britannia, Austrian Philharmonic, Somalia Elephant, South African Krugerrand, and the Australian Kangaroo.
In most cases, many of the uncirculated 1/2 oz gold coin programs mentioned above offer a proof version of the same design and weight. Examples include the Gold Eagle, Gold Libertad, Gold Krugerrand, and the Gold Kangaroo. Though many sovereign collections offer a proof alternative, not all do.
Additionally, there are 1/2 oz proof gold coin collections that offer unique design combinations with limited mintages for collectors. Among these types of coins, you’ll find that lunar-themed designs are a common option.
