Australian Kangaroo/Nugget Coins
The Australian Kangaroo/Nugget Coin is a popular bullion coin frequently included in retirement accounts. Minted by Perth Mint and available in multiple sizes (1/20 oz, 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz and 1 oz), each year features a different reverse design; additionally it stands as one of few bullion coins to feature a hopping kangaroo on its reverse side.
The obverse side of each coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II and is made with 99.99% fine gold. They are highly sought-after by investors and collectors due to their high gold purity and unique reverse designs, and eligible for retirement IRA accounts, making them an excellent way to diversify IRA portfolios. Furthermore, unlike bars which must be sold in large volumes in order to obtain cash quickly, coins are easy to liquidate for cash directly at banks or stored safely by third parties for safekeeping purposes.
Austrian Philharmonic Coins
Austrian Philharmonic coins qualify as retirement vehicles due to their silver purity, just like the American Silver Eagle coin. By adding gold into an IRA retirement portfolio, diversifying your portfolio and offsetting any losses due to fluctuating markets can help ensure greater long-term security for you and your investments.
The Philharmonic coin is not only eligible for an IRA account, but is also the top selling bullion coin in Europe. Recognized as one of five world gold council coins with consistent designs and availability make this piece a fan-favorite among both collectors and investors.
The Philharmonic coin features the obverse side with an arrangement of string instruments enclosing a violoncello from Vienna’s Philharmonic Orchestra on one side and, on its reverse, Austria’s national musical center known as Musikverein on its reverse. By adding these stunning works of art to your IRA account, it not only signifies cultural appreciation but financial astuteness as well.
Canadian Maple Leaf Coins
Since 1979, when it first was produced, the Canadian Maple Leaf coin has become an extremely popular gold bullion investment. These coins feature Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on one side with Canada’s national symbol the Maple Leaf on the reverse. These 1 oz Gold Maple Leaves are produced by Royal Canadian Mint with high purity gold of 99999 or 99999 pure. There have also been special editions produced at higher purity levels than 99999 pure.
These IRA eligible coins are easy to store, transport and divide; boasting high resell values they make an ideal addition to any precious metals portfolio.
Gold bullion bars and proof coins offer safe investments that meet individual investment goals, offering diversification while simultaneously building wealth through tangible investments.

American Eagle Coins
The American Eagle coin is one of the few collectible coins eligible to be put into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Minted by the U.S. Mint and available in one-ounce denominations, each coin contains precious metals backed by the government and therefore makes for an excellent investment vehicle in Precious Metals IRAs.
This coin features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ striking Walking Liberty on its obverse, while Roman numerals date encircle all 50 state stars of the US on its reverse. Each coin also comes in “proof” version which boasts greater collector value.
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 allowed Self-Directed IRAs to hold alternative assets like precious metals; however, certain pieces are restricted for ownership within an IRA account.
