FRONT BACK

First introduced in 1986, the American Eagle gold coin is a leading gold bullion coin choice among

investors across the world.

Design of the American Eagle Gold Coin

After careful consideration, the United States Mint decided to copy the design of the $20 Saint-

Gaudens gold coin for the obverse (front) of its new American Eagle. The date, situated to the

viewer's right of Miss Liberty, appears in Roman Numerals in the years from 1986-91 it has

appeared in Arabic Numerals ever since.

The design on the reverse (back) by Miley Busiek captures a bald eagle swooping into a nest

holding its family.

American Eagle Gold Coin Minting Information

American Eagle gold coins are minted exclusively from gold mined in the United States. The coins

combine 24-karat gold with small amounts of alloy to ensure a minimum of scratching and marring;

the result is a 22-karat gold coin. Each one-ounce American Eagle contains one full ounce of pure

gold.

U.S. Government Guarantee

American Eagles maintain a unique advantage over most other gold bullion coins - the United States

government guarantees their gold content, weight and purity. For this reason, American Eagle gold

coins can easily be bought and sold almost anywhere in the world, making these coins among the

most commonly traded gold bullion coins on the market.

First produced in 1986, the Australian gold Nugget / Kangaroo coin is one of the most popular coins

created by the Perth Mint in Western Australia. The gold Australian Nugget / Kangaroo is minted in

eight different sizes ranging from 1/20th of an ounce all the way up to 1-kilogram.

Design of the Australian Nugget (Kangaroo)

The obverse (front) of the coin features a profile of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Ian Rank

Broadley. The profile is circled by her name, the denomination of the coin, and the word

"AUSTRALIA".

The design on the coin's reverse (back) originally depicted natural Australian gold nuggets (example

right), with different designs for various sizes. The design changed in 1989 to feature the most

recognizable animal in Australia, the kangaroo (example above). For this reason, the coin is referred

to both as an Australian "Nugget" and "Kangaroo."

The Australian gold Nugget / Kangaroo is currently the only legal tender gold bullion coin to change

its design each year and limit its mintage annually. Each coin receives a new design every year.

New designs are introduced each year for proof coins and these designs are then used for striking

the bullion coins the following year.

Australian Nugget Coin Minting Information

Each coin, from the tiny 1/20th-ounce to the massive 1-kilogram, is currently composed of 99.99%

pure gold. Australian Nugget / Kangaroo coins enjoy legal tender status courtesy of the Australian

Currency Act 1965. The production of the Australian Gold Nugget/ Kangaroo has proven very

beneficial to the nation's mining industry and the coins continue to be favorites among investors.

Austrian Gold Philharmonic

TO PURCHASE CALL 1-866-439-6201

FRONT BACK

The Austrian Mint first began producing the Vienna Philharmonic in 1989. This coin was the best

selling gold bullion coin in the world in 1992, 1995, and 1996 according to the World Gold Council.

Design of the Austrian Gold Philharmonic

The obverse (front) depicts a collection of orchestral instruments: a cello, four violins, a Vienna horn,

bassoon, and harp. These instruments are arranged beneath the German name of the orchestra:

'WIENER PHILHARMONIKER'.

The reverse (back) features the great organ in the Vienna's Golden Concert Hall (Musikverein),

which houses the Philharmonic Orchestra. Beneath the organ are the weight, fineness, date of

issue, and face value in Euros*. Above the organ is the official name of the country, 'REPUBLIK

'STERREICH'.

Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin Minting Information

Minted in 1-oz., 1/2-oz., 1/4-oz., and 1/10-oz. sizes, all Vienna Philharmonics are minted from

99.99% pure gold. No alloyed metals are added. All coins are minted at the Austrian Mint AG, now a

subsidiary of the Austrian National Bank.

CANADIAN MAPLE LEAF

TO PURCHASE CALL 1-866-439-6201

FRONT BACK

Due to its 99.99% gold purity, the Royal Canadian Mint markets its gold Maple Leaf coin as the

"international symbol of purity." The gold Maple Leaf has been produced since 1979 (it was minted

with 0.999 fine gold for the first four years before increasing the gold content to 0.9999 fine in 1983).

Page 7: BULLION GOLD BULLION - WordPress.com › 2011 › 01 › bullion-coin.pdfAmerican Eagle gold coins are minted exclusively from gold mined in the United States. The coins combine 24-karat

Gold Maple Leafs should be handled carefully. Due to their high gold content, they may scratch or

mar more easily than other 1-oz. gold coins of lesser purity.

Design of the Canadian Maple Leaf

The front, or "obverse," of the gold Maple Leaf features a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Originally, the

bust depicted the Queen as a younger woman. The bust design changed in 1990 to feature a more

mature portrait. In both versions, "ELIZABETH II" appears above the portrait; the coin's face value

and date of issue rest beneath the bust.

The back, or "reverse," depicts a Maple Leaf, the national symbol of Canada for which the coin

derives its name. The gold Maple Leaf's reverse also lists the name of the country and the amount

and purity of the gold - in both English and French, the national languages of Canada.

Canadian Maple Leaf Coin Minting Information

The Royal Canadian Mint, the nation's official mint, was the first mint in the world to commercially

produce 99.99% bullion gold coins. More recently, it also became the first mint to produce a

99.999% gold coin. The Ottawa branch of the Mint has been in operation since 1908. The main

branch for production today is Winnipeg.

Government Guarantee

The government of Canada guarantees the purity, weight, and legal tender value of each gold Maple

Leaf coin. For this reason, gold Maple Leafs have been internationally recognized since their

introduction in 1979.

CHINESE GOLD PANDA

TO PURCHASE CALL 1-866-439-6201

FRONT BACK

With an annual design change always featuring China's symbolic animal, the gold Chinese Panda

has long been a favorite of coin collectors and jewelry designers the world over. At one time this gold

coin was minted in seven different sizes, second only to the eight sizes of the Australian Nugget.

The 5- and 12-oz. sizes were discontinued over a decade ago.

Design of the Gold Chinese Panda

The main obverse (front) design of the panda never changes. It features Beijing's famous Temple of

Heaven (Tien Tien) along with the date of issue. Chinese characters rest above the temple's roof.

The design on the coin's reverse (back) changes annually, but it always features the endangered

Giant Panda. The only year the design did not change was 2002; the rotation began again in 2003.

The reverse also features the size, gold fineness, and monetary amount.

Chinese Gold Panda Coin Minting Information

From 1982-2000, the face values of the 1/20- through 1-oz. Gold Pandas were 5, 10, 25, 50, and

100 Yuan, respectively. Since that time, the face values of these gold coins have been raised to the

denominations listed in the Detailed Coin Information section below.

Mint Marks and Proof Marks (signified by a 'P') have been added to Chinese Pandas in some years,

but not all.

GOLD AMERICAN BUFFOLO

TO PURCHASE CALL 1-866-439-6201

FRONT BACK

In June, 2006, the United States Mint commenced production of America's first 24-karat, pure gold

(.9999% fineness) one-ounce coin, the American Buffalo. This beautiful gold coin, nicknamed "The

Buffalo," is based upon American sculptor James Earle Fraser's revered Buffalo Nickel of 1913. The

Buffalo displays Fraser's classic design of an American Indian on the coin's obverse and the renown

American bison on the reverse.

Page 10: BULLION GOLD BULLION - WordPress.com › 2011 › 01 › bullion-coin.pdfAmerican Eagle gold coins are minted exclusively from gold mined in the United States. The coins combine 24-karat

The Native American depiction on the coin's obverse (front) is believed to be based on three

different American Indians. Two of the American Indians who modeled for Fraser, once a student of

Augustus Saint-Gaudens, were named by the designer before his death as Chief Iron Tail of the

Lakota Sioux and Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne. The third person has yet to be definitively

identified.

It is widely thought that the bison on the coin's reverse (back) was modeled after Black Diamond, a

popular attraction at New York's Zoological Gardens.

American Gold Buffalo Coin Minting Information

American Buffalo gold bullion coins are among the world's purest gold coins in terms of the fineness

of the metal they contain. Each coin contains its full, stated weight of pure gold. By law, the gold for

United States Mint American Buffalo gold bullion coins must originate from newly mined sources in

America. The coins are struck at the United States Mint at West Point, New York but do not have a

mint mark.

U.S. Government Guarantee of Purity, Weight, and Content

Gold bullion coins from the United States Mint are the only official gold bullion coins whose weight,

content and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. That means gold bullion coins

are welcome in major investment markets worldwide, just like the U.S. dollar.

SOUTH AFRICAN KRUGERRAND

Page 11: BULLION GOLD BULLION - WordPress.com › 2011 › 01 › bullion-coin.pdfAmerican Eagle gold coins are minted exclusively from gold mined in the United States. The coins combine 24-karat

FRONT BACK

The world's first gold bullion coin minted for investment, the Krugerrand is believed to be the most

widely owned bullion coin in the world. The Krugerrand was first introduced in 1967, as a vehicle

designed to encourage individuals to own gold.

Design of the South African Krugerrand

The Krugerrand's obverse (front), designed by O. Schultz, features the first President of the South

African Republic, Paul Kruger. Kruger is surrounded by the name of his nation in Afrikaans and

English, two of South Africa's eleven official languages: "SUID-AFRIKA ' SOUTH AFRICA."

A springbok (a South African antelope) prances across the reverse (back), as designed by C.L.

Steynberg. The reverse also lists the date of issue and the amount and purity of the gold.

Interestingly, the Krugerrand does not carry a face value because it is primarily minted for trading

outside South Africa.

South African Krugerrand Coin Minting Information

Each Krugerrand is minted using approximately 91 2/3 parts gold and 8 1/3 parts copper. The South

African mint is rarely at a loss for gold since South Africa is one of the world's largest gold producers.

The official South African Mint has undergone many changes over the years and was privatized in

1988 when it became a full subsidiary of the SA Reserve Bank.

AUSTRIAN 100 CORONA

TO PURCHASE CALL 1-866-439-6201

FRONT BACK

Unlike the Austrian 4 Ducats gold coins, the 100 Corona gold coin was minted as official Austrian

legal tender. Austrian monetary reform in 1892 created the Corona as an official monetary unit. The

100 Corona gold coin contains almost one full troy ounce of gold (see specifications below).

Design of the Austrian 100 Corona

The obverse (front) of this Austrian 100 Corona gold coin features a bust of Austrian King and

Hungarian Emperor Franz Josef I. He is surrounded by the words: 'FRANC ' IOS ' I ' D ' G ' IMP '

AVSTR 'REX BOH ' GAL ' ILL ' ETC 'ET AP ' REX HVNG .'

The coin's reverse (back) features the coat of arms of Austria superimposed over a crowned Imperial

double-headed eagle. The date and the face value of the coin are written twice ' in Latin and

German. The Latin information lies at the top of the gold coin: 'C CORON' for 100 Corona and

'MDCCCCXV' for the date, although 1915 is typically written as MCMXV.

Austrian 100 Corona Coin Minting Information

Corona pieces are no longer minted in Austria, but these gold coins were once an important part of

Austrian commerce. They were minted in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and this 100 Corona gold

piece. All 100 Corona featuring a 1915 date are official restrikes from later dates, although they are

no longer minted today.

Franz Josef I

Franz Josef I (1830-1916) ruled as both Emperor of Austria (1848-1916) and King of Hungary (1867-

1916). It was during his reign that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was created. He became King of

Hungary when he married the popular Elisabeth, also known as Sisi, whom the Hungarian people

accepted as their true sovereign until her assassination on September 10, 1898.

Josef's wife was not the only one to perish this way. His brother Maximillian who had served as

Emperor of Mexico was executed in 1867 and his nephew and heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was

assassinated in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. It was this last act that is commonly considered the

catalyst for World War I. Josef died two years later on November 21, 1916.

Gold bars, sometimes referred to as gold ingots, are minted in a variety of sizes anywhere between

1- and 400-oz. The largest bars typically carry the smallest premium and are often traded on major

exchanges (e.g., COMEX, etc.); however, they are more difficult to trade in the secondary market

because of their size and value. Investors more commonly acquire 1-oz. and 10-oz. gold bar sizes.

Design of Gold bars

Gold bars feature a variety of designs ranging from the plain to the elaborate. Almost all gold bars

include the amount of gold, its purity, and the issuing company.

Gold Bar Minting Information

Several different companies manufacture or hallmark gold bars. The more popular hallmarks include

Credit Suisse, Johnson Matthey, Englehard and Produits Artistiques de M'taux Pr'cieux (PAMP). The

manufacturer and condition of bars sold by Goldrush are based upon current inventory.

FRONT BACK

Mexico released six different sizes of the gold 50 Peso bullion coins (specifications below). The

design information listed below is only applicable to the largest of these coins, the 50 Peso.

Design of the Mexico 50 Peso

The obverse (front) of the Mexican 50 Pesos features a striking portrait of Winged Victory standing in

front of the Mexican volcanoes Iztacc'huatl and Popocat'ptl. This coin is often compared to America's

most beautiful coin, the $20 Saint-Gaudens. The obverse also lists the face value ('50 PESOS'), the

gold content, and the date of issue opposite the date of Mexican Independence,1821.

As a side note, coins dated 1943 only have a variation of this design. The gold content ('37.5 Gr.

ORO PURO') appears on both sides of Victory.

The reverse (back) features an eagle and snake design surrounded by the words 'ESTADOS

UNIDOS MEXICANOS,' which translate to United Mexican States.

Mexico 50 Peso Coin Minting Information

Mexican 50 Pesos gold coins are often referred to as Centenarios. Their first year of issue was 1921

to celebrate Mexico's 100th anniversary of independence in 1821. From 1949 - 1972, nearly four

million coins were re-struck, most likely with the date 1947.

90% and 40% Silver Bags

TO PURCHASE CALL 1-866-439-6201

FRONT

Ninety-percent silver bags are often referred to as 'junk silver' though this term can be misleading.

Ninety-percent silver generally refers to pre-1965 circulated silver dimes and quarters which were all

comprised of 90% silver and 10% copper. These coins are generally sold in $1,000 bags which

reflect their face value (i.e., the legal tender value of the coins). People refer to the face value

because, regardless of the denomination of the coins, $1,000 bags all contain the same amount of

silver which is generally 715 troy ounces (the gross weight of these bags are approximately 800 troy

ounces or 54.85 pounds). These bags also come in half and quarter bags (i.e., $500 and $250

bags).

Silver bags can be purchased in bags of coins composed of either 90% or 40% silver.

90% Silver

90% silver bags are probably acquired more often than 40% silver; they contain worn pre-1965

dimes, quarters or half-dollars in any combination.

Prior to 1965, silver American coins were composed of 90% silver and 10% copper.

$1,000 face value bags of 90% silver weigh about 54-55 pounds and contain a gross weight of 800

troy ounces. The pure silver content of these coins is approximately 715 troy ounces.

40% Silver

40% silver bags consist of only circulated Kennedy clad half-dollars minted between 1965 and 1970.

These coins have an outer layer composition of 80% silver and 20% copper and are bonded to an

inner core of 20.9% silver and 79.1% copper. Slightly lighter than 90% bags, these $1,000 face

value bags contain approximately 295 troy ounces of pure silver.

Silver American Eagle

TO PURCHASE CALL 1-866-439-6201

FRONT BACK

Silver American Eagles, which the United States government first introduced in 1986, have fast

become one of the most popular ways to invest in silver bullion.

Design of the Silver American Eagle Coin

Like the gold American Eagle, the design for the silver American Eagle was borrowed from an older

American coin. The image of "Walking Liberty," located on the front of the silver American Eagle, first

debuted in 1916 on the half-dollar coin designed by Adolph Weinman. Renowned for their beauty,

Walking Liberty Half-Dollars are widely considered one of the United States' most attractive silver

coins.

The reverse (back), designed by John Mercanti, depicts a heraldic eagle with shield carrying an olive

branch and arrows in its talons. An inverse pyramid of thirteen stars representing the thirteen original

colonies floats above its head. The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ' 1 OZ. FINE SILVER ~

ONE DOLLAR '" encircle the eagle.

Silver American Eagle Coin Minting Information

Silver American Eagles are one-ounce coins made from 99.9% pure silver bullion. A trace amount of

copper is added to increase their durability.

U.S. Government Guarantee

Silver American Eagles maintain a unique advantage over most other silver bullion coins - the U.S.

government guarantees their content, weight and purity. Thus, when you pay for a silver American

Eagle, you know exactly what you will receive.
